Full Discussion: mounting new directory
Operating Systems Linux Slackware mounting new directory Post 302231114 by Lakris on Monday 1st of September 2008 06:15:06 PM

Your fstab says that the partition should have (is expected to have) a file system of type reiserfs, have You created that? If not, run the command

Code:
mkreiserfs /dev/hda11

But You must be sure that it is the correct partition, if You run that command on another partition You may erase everything on it. Just wanted to tell You to be careful Smilie

After that You may mount it with
mount /back
or
mount /dev/hda11
or
mount /dev/hda11 /back
or even
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda11 /back
and even more variants

The entry in fstab actually makes sure that it will be mounted every time Your system boot (thats when a mount -a will be done, usually), but right now it also helps specify the details, that explains why for example mount /dev/hda11 and mount /back work equally well.

Good luck!

NAME
halmount - mount and umount filesystems via hal SYNOPSIS
halmount [OPTIONS]... <device|label> [mountpoint] halmount -u [OPTIONS]... <device|label|mountpoint> halmount -e [OPTIONS]... <device|label|mountpoint> DESCRIPTION
halmount can mount and umount filesystems via hal. Hotpluggable devices and media such as USB sticks and CD-ROMs are typically not entered into /etc/fstab and are therefore not mountable by normal users via the mount(8) command. Instead hal provides methods to mount and umount such devices. Additionally it's also possible to eject devices. For devices like USB sticks eject means the device cannot be mounted again until the stick is re-plugged, ie a "save remove" feature. OPTIONS
-t TYPE specify the file system type to use -o OPTIONS specify mount options -v verbose listing of devices -u umount specified device -e umount and eject specified device -a perform requested mount/umount/eject operation all available devices --listudi list UDIs of devices, useful for debugging EXAMPLES
halmount list all mountable devices known to hal halmount /dev/hdc mount device hdc on default mount point (/media/volumelabel) halmount /dev/hdc cdrom mount device hdc on /media/cdrom halmount -u "Holiday Pictures" umount device that has the label "Holiday Pictures" SEE ALSO
