you need to have root access to mount partitions. Of course , fuse will allow you to mount as local user even for that, you need to know remote-user password.

To mount,

mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/sda6

after creating two directories sda5,sda6 under /mnt.

after creating two directories sda5,sda6 under /mnt.

I get this

[root@localhost ved]# cd /mnt
[root@localhost mnt]# mkdir sda5,sda6
[root@localhost mnt]# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5
mount: mount point /mnt/sda5 does not exist
[root@localhost mnt]# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/sda6
mount: mount point /mnt/sda6 does not exist

[Lakshmipathi]

It says mount point not exists , have you created two directories?
Check it using:

ls -l /mnt

I get this

[root@localhost ved]# cd /mnt
[root@localhost mnt]# mkdir sda5,sda6
[root@localhost mnt]# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5
mount: mount point /mnt/sda5 does not exist
[root@localhost mnt]# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/sda6
mount: mount point /mnt/sda6 does not exist

Don't try to combine multiple commands, it will not always work. What your first command did was create a folder named like this:

/mnt/sda5,sda6

I am sure that this is not what you wanted, so to remove the unwanted folder, run this:

rm -R /mnt/sda5,sda6

Now reenter the commands, one at a time.

mkdir /mnt/sda5

mkdir /mnt/sda6

Also, run the mount commands one at a time. I am not sure if you can group mount commands like you did, as I don't even try. You may first need to add the partitions to your /etc/fstab file before it will be properly mounted.
