Greetings all!
Everything I've seen on this problem has to do with pen drives and the like, but my problem is with my external USB hard drive. I'm running FC2 on an HP zt1175 laptop. The USB drive has two vfat partitions detected as sda1 and sda2. I added the following entries into my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/fat1 vfat auto,users,umask=0 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mnt/fat2 vfat auto,users,umask=0 0 0
When my system boots, I get an error message for each partition stating that it "is not a vaild block device." However, I can mount them both by entering the shell and doing the following:
sudo mount -a
I have also tried the following lines in fstab, but this gave me the same exact results:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/fat1 auto auto,rw,uid=0,gid=501,showexec,quiet,fmask=117,dmask=007 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/fat2 auto auto,rw,uid=0,gid=501,showexec,quiet,fmask=117,dmask=007 0 0
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
