    Mounting a partition permanantly

    hi all,

    i would like to share a small doubt with u all,

    i would like to know how to,

    Mounting a partition permanently into /misc
    using fstab,
    i have entered the entires into it and it was working from that session without any problems,
    but after rebooting the partition which was mounted into misc was empty even the data can be seen in that partition if we mount temporarily and permanently,


    so pls tell me how to mount a partition permanently into /misc even we restart the system

    Could you please post the fstab file contents ? Are you trying to mount ext3 file system ?

    Post the output of this too :
    Code:
    su -c /sbin/fdisk -l
df -h
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Can you also let us know which of the partitions you want to mount

    but assuming sda2 and ext3 it would be something like

    Code:
    /dev/sda2    /misc        ext3        defaults,rw    0    0
