    I had mentioned this problem in my other thread, but felt i'd get a better answer if i started a new one. Hope ye mods dont mind :)

    I'm trying to mount a new hd thats already formatted to ext3 before i took it out of my main rig, i've made a directory in /home/public for it, taken control of it & set access mode for the folder.

    This is what i've done in preparation:
    sudo mkdir /home/public/Colms_Media
    sudo chown colm /home/public/Colms_Media
    sudo chmod 777 /home/public/Colms_Media

    But "fdisk -l" gives me absolutely no output at all. How can i mount this hd without knowing what its named as?

    Help please

    Have you tried a plain old
    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /home/public/Colms_Media

    or even
    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

    to rule out permissions.

    That's great. Bless the simplicity of ext3! ;)

    Are you going to be using it all the time? Have you added it to /etc/fstab to save you mounting manually after a reboot?
