Re: Ubuntu Automount Help
errors?
`mount \media\morewindows` says??? EDIT: sda2 should never be mounted, it's an extended partition & you will never get it to mount anyhow. Last edited by Baph; 19-03-07 at 01:29 PM. |

folders do not exist in /media but my understanding is that they will appear if drive is mounted |

Re: Ubuntu Automount Help
True enough. But if you're expecting a /media/windowstoo to appear, it wont have anything in it.
Quote:
`mkdir /mount/morewindows; chmod 777 /mount/morewindows` Tighten security later. |
