I think I see the confusion. Your filesystem is not hda.
Your filesystem *includes* hda. Now it includes hdc too. This is different than under Windows, where every drive has its root directory and all the subfolders appear under it, and each drive's filesystem is independent from the others. Hope that clears it up a little.

This has me confused? why I need a mount point on hda to get to hdc? Is there a place I can get more info on mount points, etc etc? mike Michael Heldebrant wrote: > > On Tue, 2001-10-23 at 23:02, Michael Grover wrote: > > Does anybody know where I can find info on ading second hard drives? > > > > I added the second drive, > > ran "MAKEDEV hdc" , > > ran "mke2fs /dev/hdc" , > > added a entry to the fstab file in the /etc directory. > > > > But I can not mount it? > > > > fstab line = "/dev/hdc1 /data ext2 defaults 1 1 > > > > > > when I try to mount I get error "mount point data does not exist" > > mkdir /data > > retry mount and enjoy. > > --mike > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
