I am having a problem with my frugal installation. I set aside .5g for the F install, .5g for swap, 2.5g for media, 2.5g for other. Hda1-2-3-4. I can mount the hda1 but none others will mount. Have I done something wrong?

Oh yea, they are all linux fs except for the swap (linuxswap).

Well, you can't mount the swap partition, cause it's swap..

The others you mentioned, 'media' and 'other' , should easily mount
as soon as you've formatted them with 'e2fsck /dev/hdXx'
( Xx = your partition names , assuming hda3 and hda4 by your notes )

You can mount with either the mount tool in your slitapps dock,
or, open a root shell, and type ' mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ' for hda3 mounting

Or add "auto" to their /etc/fstab options to have them mount automatically on boot.

You may need to bypass fstab creation in order for this to work. I think the boot option is nofstab

Hi, thanks for the help.

I tried to format with e2fsck, although i formatted both hda3-4 with cfdisk before I installed(not sure if thats the same thing). However, it told me that I either have a corrupt superblock, or the disk is not an ext2 fs. The partitions are just linux, not linux ext2, except for hda1, it somehow through installation became ext2. During formatting with cfdisk I couldn't find the ext2 type, only linux and some others. Any ideas?
