Mounting

[TheMayhem]

OK, this is probably an easy question but I can't seem to figure it out.

I have added two disks to my system and want to run them as RAID1. I have set them up as 0x83 and created a RAID1 parition using them named /md0 formated as ext3.

I can figure out how to mount this new drive to a folder of the root (simply put mount point to /somename). But I want it to show up under media: as the two partitions of the main drive does (root and home).

How do I do this?

And is there an easy way of setting user rights through Yast or do I have to stick to using chmod on the mount point?

you can mount partitions anywhere. create a mount_point (folder) in /media and execute mount command. add an entry in /etc/fstab file and partition will be mounted at boot up automatically.

I think you misunderstood.

What I want to do is mount it as a device so that it shows up in konqueror when going media:/ and as a device in the main window listed under "Disk Information".

[devils casper]

partitions mounted at boot up appear in media:/ or sysinfo:/. if you mount partitions manually, those wont appear media:/ or sysinfo:/. add entries in /etc/fstab file to mount partitions at boot up.
mount_point doesn't matter in this case.

I manage to do this with a regular partition, it shows up fine as a device. But the raid fails during boot. Is there any special actions to take for raid partitions?

System boots now and the drive is mounted in the folder I choose, but it still doesn't show up in media:/ and sysinfo:/

Here's how the partitioner looks:


And here is my fstab file:

/dev/hda2            /                    ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/hda3            /home                ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/hda1            swap                 swap       defaults              0 0
proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0 0
sysfs                /sys                 sysfs      noauto                0 0
debugfs              /sys/kernel/debug    debugfs    noauto                0 0
usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0
devpts               /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0 0
LABEL=MHQclean       /local               ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/md0             /mnt/myraid          ext3       defaults          0 0

It's md0 I am having trouble getting to show up.
