Question mounting fat32 hard drive?
Hello all and TIA for your help.

I am running RedHat 7.2 and would like to mount and share the files on my second hard drive that is formatted fat32 to my home network or pc's.

Can anyone direct me to tutorials or give me the commands to make this possible?

thanks

hi,

i think the link from lynch should help you,
but still( as much as i know....)

login as root , and go to the Linuxconf
there you have a section for filesystems

select mounting other filesystems
select the partiton you want to mount,
before all this create a directory in the /mnt dir as dosC/dosb etc..
select the partition as fat32 type
and the mount point as the dir you created inthe /mnt dir

then click 'mount'
and save and activate changes

that should do it

bye

and one more thing,

if you dont want this partition to mount automatically at every boot, then uncheck the automatically mount everytime at boot option in the advanced /options tab which is next to the tab you use for mounting this partition
