I just looked at it in QTParted and it recognized it as ext3. I used QT when I formated it in KNOPPIX, so maybe it's just Fdisk?

kbk@1[~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              71G   65G  2.1G  97% /
tmpfs                 252M     0  252M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                  10M   96K   10M   1% /dev
/dev/hdb1              57G  129M   54G   1% /mnt/hdb

df -h is showing correct size.......
why fdisk showing it as NTFS??? ..... before putting data in this disk, Format it again using GParted or Knoppix.....

Now I've switched to SuSE 10.1 and I can't get the darn thing to mount! I created the directory in /mnt, and everytime I try and mount it it says it can't be found in etc/fstab/. I don't remember ever doing anything with etc/fstab before though..

[devils casper]

you have to use complete command to mount it..

mount -t <filesystem> /dev/<drive> /mnt/<directory>

in case, problem remains, post the output of fdisk -l.

That did the trick thanks alot.

[devils casper]

now add this code in /etc/fstab file to automount partition at boot up.

/dev/<drive>  /mnt/<directory>  <filesystem>  defaults,umask=0 0 0

press 'Enter' key after adding this line to add a blank line.
Last line should be blank in fstab file.
