Hi,
Please, login as root and run the comand "mount", then show us the standar output AND the /etc/fstab file. Tell us which is the file systems that you have used on new disk partitions (VFAT, EXT2/3, NTFS, UFS, REISERFS, etc).

It seems tha a mistake was made in last line.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1 ext3 default 2 1

Instead "default" should be "defaults". But after change a error message "permission denied" appear in Konqueror window.


And mount still does not work
"89-125-103-244:/home/andrius# mount /dev/hdc1
mount: mount point /mnt/hdc1 does not exist"
