Hi all. We run a dual boot Suse 10.0 / WinXP machine. It has two
drives, one with the OSs and a couple partitions, and the other with
six partitions. I created these 32 gig fat32 partitions to hold data
accessible from either windows or linux. I mounted them under the
/windows/ directory, which exists as a result of being dual boot. This
has worked well on several dual boot machines for a few years.
fdisk shows:

Now on one machine, when I mount the partitions, I can then see them.
mount /dev/sdb1 /windows/G
mount /dev/sdb5 /windows/H
mount /dev/sdb6 /windows/I
mount /dev/sdb7 /windows/J
mount /dev/sdb8 /windows/K
mount /dev/sdb9 /windows/L
ls L shows the contents of that partition and all is well.
If I log out and reboot the machine, the partitions are no longer seen.
ls L shows:
. ..
Why are the partition mountings not surviving a reboot and relogin?
We are not running XP between boots.
How do we know? However one suggestions-- you have not put them into
/etc/fstab properly to tell the system to remount them on bootup. Unless it
is written down in an appropriate place your computer does ot remember what
the situation was last time it was booted up.
Show us the content of /etc/fstab.
(Or set it up yourself
/dev/sdb1 /windows/G vfat rw,user 0 0
etc
It looks like you are right:
jim@eeganlyzsaturn:/etc> cat fstab
/dev/sda6 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr
1 1
/dev/sda1 /windows/C ntfs
ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda5 /windows/D ntfs
ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda8 /windows/E vfat
users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
/dev/sda9 /windows/F vfat
users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
/dev/sda7 swap swap defaults
0 0
proc /proc proc defaults
0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto

devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5

noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
none /subdomain subdomainfs noauto 0 0
jim@eeganlyzsaturn:/etc>
Thanks. I note the entries in mine
(users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0) are different from yours:
vfat rw,user 0 0
Does this matter?
Thanks
Jim
