automounting...

[Bit Twister]

Have you tried man fstab

Here is a snippet from my /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/win_d vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0

If the above breaks your system, it's yours and you keep both pieces.
Practice safe computing. Backup the file before you change it.
Do a, man command_here or cat command_here, before using it.

I want to automount my FAT drives as well as my SCSI CRW6416S everytime
I log into Linux.

Can someone tell me how to do that?

Currently, I am only mounting my FAT drives by going into the
/mnt/Cdrive(I created this), and typing in:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 ./
to mount my C Drive from DOS

Can someone show me the way to mount my SCSI drive now? And possibly,
mount it automatically everytime I log in as well please.

Thank you.

John.

But how can I automount my SCSI CD-Writer? In my /etc/fstab, there is
already a line:
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

which I assume to be my SCSI CD-ROM. But because it is a SCSI drive, it
mounts it, but doesn't read anything. Please help.

Thanks.

John.

Try not to continue posting to so many groups.
One linux group will suffice.
(see note below)

Do you have a disk in your cdrom drive? What do your logs say?
Is the /dev pointing to the right device?

To mount a device during the boot process (or with 'mount -a') remove the
'noauto' option from the option list of its fstab entry.
