Very Computer

i am able to mount the primary partition in the primary master (c
drive-hda1-) but when i try to mount the extended drives hda2-6, it says
must specify file system. I can mount the cd-rom, but the floppy drive
creates a similar problem. Also when i try to un-mount a mounted drive it
says that the device is busy. Are these problems related? how can i fix
either of these problems if they are unreleated?

If hda5 is an msdos partition and you type 'mount /dev/hda5 /mntpoint  -t
msdos', what happens.

Try mounting all of the different partitions with a type specified and see
what happens.

If you're on the mounted fs or it is being used by a program when you try to
unmount it it will tell you it's busy -   /mnt/hda4/temp# umount /mnt -
it'll be busy.

Hope this helps,

Phil
