So here is my new problem, I added a new hard drive, and i can mount it using:
Code Sample
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdf1 /media
and that works fine. I can then cd to /media and see whats in there. But I now want to mount that every time DSLinux boots up. So I added a line in /etc/fstab that looks like this:
Code Sample
/dev/hdf1 /media ext3 auto,users,exec 0 0
And now when I restart my computer I get this "EXT3-fs warning: Maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended" after it checks /etc/fstab on startup, is there something wrong with the entry I put in fstab? I google "mounting a ext3 file system automatically in /etc/fstab" and read on how to do it, but I think my effort was futile. I also tried a couple different options in fstab, none of which worked.

Here is my whole /etc/fstab just in case.
Code Sample

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass
/dev/hde2  /  ext2  defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1
proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /floppy  vfat  defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
/dev/hdf1 /media ext3 auto,users,exec 0 0
# partitions found by dsl
#/dev/hde2 /mnt/hde2 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/auto/cdrom1  auto   users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hde1 none swap defaults 0 0

Any one have any Ideas on what I should change?

Did that actually prevent you from accessing the drive?  I get the same, or very similar, message every time i start DSL...never really paid attention to it because it didn't prevent me from doing anything.

By the way, the fact that it says "warning" and not "error" is a pretty good sign that it's nothing serious.

are you sure the drive name is /dev/hdf1 ????

do a dmesg |grep hd

that will list all your hard drives
and see if hdf1 is in their if not that might be your problem

dmesg |grep hd gave me this output:


Code Sample

dsl@box:~$ dmesg |grep hd

hdh: attached ide-scsi driver.


so i am going to assume that by that, hdf1 is in fact recognized. any other recommendations? is there something wrong with my entry in fstab?
