hello RH-list members ! from last week, i sent one or two messages concerning questions about the installation of large-storage USB-HDD on RH8.
since 2 weeks, i try to install a 120 Go USB-HDD (4 FAT32 partitions). this USB-HDD is seen by the OS, but no possibility to mount it. i used it before with windowsXP, with the following partitioning, as viewed under RH : 'launch > system tools > hardware settings' /dev/sda1 : p1 : 30,2 Go /dev/sda5 : p2 : 30,1 Go /dev/sda6 : p3 : 30,2 Go /dev/sda7 : p4 : 18,6 Go in the /etc/fstab the declarations of options are the same as concerning a partition on the same disk (/dev/hdaX) in fact, 1. the RH8 OS recognizes large storage USB-HDD, and views the different partitions under /dev/sda tree. 2. the RH8 OS only mounts the p4 partition. its size is BELOW 20 Go ....... so, maybe that partitions over 20 Go are toooooo large to be mounted i did not do any other test for the moment to confirm if the size is the only parameter to take in account. so, any comment would be appreciated, and i hope this can help some of us ...
