Code:

//1.0.0.1/External	/media/External	auto	auto,rw,user	0	0

Why is this not mounting?

Z_Vengeance · 10-16-09

Does it work if you mount it from the command line?

dragonfellow17 · 10-16-09

Do I do //1.0.0.1/External or /1.0.0.1/External?

Code:

ryan@Mod:~$ mount /1.0.0.1/External
mount: can't find /1.0.0.1/External in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

It looks like you are trying to mount a network drive, is that correct? If so I have actually never done that.

Does the device show when you run fdisk -l

dragonfellow17 · 10-16-09

Yes it is a network drive. How do I run fdisk? I know you mean in the console but with what other command?

Z_Vengeance · 10-16-09

you should just type

$sudo fdisk -l

it will list all the mountable disks in the system. If you are mounting the disk over a network you may need to use smb.

sudo fdisk -l

Code:

ryan@Mod:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Fat32? well, I got news for you, take it, and plug it into a windows computer, then unmount it correctly!

FIXED!

That won't work. That's not how you specify remote servers nor do you specify the fs anywhere.
For starters, what exactly are you trying to mount? A windows share?

this is what you need, you will mount it with smb
