I have spent a few hours with the manual but either I did not catch a
vital point or the manual is in error. The examples are never the one
that fits what you actually want to do are they ;-)
When I installed my RHEL 3 system last week I made a 2 gig vfat partiton
but it does not appear to be mounting when I boot the system. df does
not list it for example.
The machine is dual boot with all the Linux on a new drive plus some
added windoz space on the rest of the drive (left as free space and
added after the Linux install as I wanted that to be ntfs).
Fdisk (p option) shows the partition is still there and I have added a
test text file from windoze which wrote to it OK.
Given the partition I want to mount is hdb3 and the mount point I gave
it was /win how do I go about geting it to mount.
Assume if you like that the /win may have not worked and start from a
partition hdb3 with no point point and take it from there if is easier.
Thanks in advance
Regards Roger
Hi, use: mount -t vfat /dev/hdb3 /win
Once you can mount it properly, you'll want to add an entry to /etc/fstab to
it mounts when you boot, or so you can just issue 'mount /win' to mount it.

Have you created the /win directory?
