Mounting a new ext3 partition

[GolerGkA]

I've just created a new ext3 partition, how should I edit the /etc/fstab file to mount it the right way?
Thanks.

[devils casper]

create mount point for new partition, open /etc/fstab file

sudo mkdir /media/new_p
sudo gedit /etc/fstab

and add this line in /etc/fstab file

/dev/<new_partition>    /media/new_p     ext3    defaults,umask=0 0 0

press 'Enter' key at the end of this line. Last line should be blank in 'fstab' file.

I've done it and then tried to 'mount sda3', but had an error about sda3 not listed in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. What's wrong? Should I reboot?
I've checked, if I saved my edits, fortunately.

[devils casper]

post the contents of /etc/fstab file and output of 'fdisk -l' command.

fdisk -l:

The same as above, translated to engish by me :

sdb1 is my player

its confusing. how many Harddisks are plugged in? did you commented entries of hda, hdb and sda yourself in fstab file?

output of fdisk is showing only one HardDisk ( sdb ).
is this complete output of 'fdisk'? if yes, then second HardDisk ( sda ) is not plugged-in correctly and OS is not recognizing it.

NO:
mount sda3
YES:
sudo mount /dev/sda3

[devils casper]

NO:
mount sda3
YES:
sudo mount /dev/sda3

did you check the output of 'fdisk' command posted by GolerGkA
there isn't any sda3 partition listed in output.

All discs working, playing music from sda5 right now, fortunately sdb isn't the only one.

$ sudo mount /dev/sda3
mount: неверный тип ФС, неверная опция, неверный суперблок
       на /dev/sda3, отсутствует кодовая страница или другая ошибка
       В некоторых случаях полезная информация может быть
       найдена в syslog - попробуйте dmesg | tail или что-то
       в этом роде

my translation:

$ sudo mount /dev/sda3
mount: incorrect FS type, incorrect option, incorrect superblock
       /dev/sda3 - no coding page or other error
       In some cases useful information can be
       found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or smth like that

[devils casper]

i can't suggest you anything unless you post the 'complete' output of 'fdisk -l' command.
