I am trying to mount a FAT16 and FAT32 partition on an already installed Redhat system.
I have tried to edit the fstab and mtab, and to put in the data I got from fdisk, but it just says cannot find it.
The information given by fdisk on /dev/hda is:
my /etc/fstab contains:
my /etc/mtab contains:
I have been trying to figure out the changes myself but this is about the only subject I cannot locate *any* info on. This computer only has a FAT16 partition, but I also have another one that has a FAT32 partition that I would like to access, I poresume the methods are the same....
Cheers in advance

I've created a partition with GNU Parted, how do I mount the partition?
The manual information at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html is good, but I am sure about how I mount the partition afterwards.
Thanks,

Dear Brothers
First i installed suse linux with the following partition. my hd0 size is 75gb

hdc2 native linux 39gb
For the rest of the 35 gb i did not create any partition. so i planned to install solaris 10x86 on that free space.

Hi,
In Linux, I had modified fstab file which used to mount ~/Music, ~/Pictures, etc with disk partitions containing corresponding content or binding directory located at other partition. But I am wondering can I do same in El-Capitan as well? No linking!

fstab
FSTAB(5) File Formats FSTAB(5)NAME
fstab - static information about the filesystems
SYNOPSIS
/etc/fstab
DESCRIPTION
The file fstab contains descriptive information about the various file systems. fstab is only read by programs, and not written; it is the
duty of the system administrator to properly create and maintain this file. Each filesystem is described on a separate line; fields on
each line are separated by tabs or spaces. Lines starting with '#' are comments, blank lines are ignored. The order of records in fstab is
important because fsck(8), mount(8), and umount(8) sequentially iterate through fstab doing their thing.
The first field (fs_spec).
This field describes the block special device or remote filesystem to be mounted.
For ordinary mounts it will hold (a link to) a block special device node (as created by mknod(8)) for the device to be mounted, like
`/dev/cdrom' or `/dev/sdb7'. For NFS mounts one will have <host>:<dir>, e.g., `knuth.aeb.nl:/'. For procfs, use `proc'.
Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume
label (cf. e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>, e.g., `LABEL=Boot' or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-
-a43f08d823a6'. This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the
filesystem volume label.
Note that mount(8) uses UUIDs as strings. The string representation of the UUID should be based on lower case characters.
The second field (fs_file).
This field describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified as `none'. If the name
of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as ` 40'.
The third field (fs_vfstype).
This field describes the type of the filesystem. Linux supports lots of filesystem types, such as adfs, affs, autofs, coda, coher-
ent, cramfs, devpts, efs, ext2, ext3, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc, qnx4, reiserfs, romfs, smbfs,
sysv, tmpfs, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat, xenix, xfs, and possibly others. For more details, see mount(8).
For the filesystems currently supported by the running kernel, see /proc/filesystems.
An entry swap denotes a file or partition to be used for swapping, cf. swapon(8). An entry ignore causes the line to be ignored.
This is useful to show disk partitions which are currently unused. An entry none is useful for bind or move mounts.
mount(8) and umount(8) support filesystem subtypes. The subtype is defined by '.subtype' suffix. For example 'fuse.sshfs'. It's
recommended to use subtype notation rather than add any prefix to the first fstab field (for example 'sshfs#example.com' is deprea-
cated).
The fourth field (fs_mntops).
This field describes the mount options associated with the filesystem.
It is formatted as a comma separated list of options. It contains at least the type of mount plus any additional options appropri-
ate to the filesystem type. For documentation on the available mount options, see mount(8). For documentation on the available swap
options, see swapon(8).
Basic file system independent options are:
defaults
use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async.
noauto do not mount when "mount -a" is given (e.g., at boot time)
user allow a user to mount
owner allow device owner to mount
comment
for use by fstab-maintaining programs
nofail do not report errors for this device if it does not exist.
The fifth field (fs_freq).
This field is used for these filesystems by the dump(8) command to determine which filesystems need to be dumped. If the fifth
field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need to be dumped.
The sixth field (fs_passno).
This field is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root
filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a
drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism
available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the
filesystem does not need to be checked.
The proper way to read records from fstab is to use the routines getmntent(3) or libmount.
