Question mounting lacie hard drive to another suns system

I have two unix workstations. One crashed , but the other is still operating efficiently. We have a Lacie external hard drive attached to the workstation that failed. I would like to mount the external drive to the workstation that is still functioning. I am not very familiar with how to do this. I think i am to use the following command. mount -t msdos/dev/blah/mnt/my_blah. Is this correct or am I way off? I would really appreciate any and all assistance.

yes, it's very correct. you might want to use "auto" rather than "msdos", though. if you want to use a shorter syntax such as:
mount /mnt/my_blah
you first need to add an entry to the /etc/fstab. roughly, it'll be a line like this:
Code:
/dev/blah /mnt/my_blah auto defaults,users 0 0
check out fstab's man pages for it's details.
