Re: 8.10 Cant mount second hard drive
Looks like you want to add /dev/sdb1. From a terminal, edit your /etc/fstab
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
and add this line to the end of it.
Code:
UUID=f75ddf72-138b-4ca9-a9a8-571cd6d5b9c8 /media/sdb1 ext3 defaults 0 2
Save it and close down gedit editing window. Then, create a new mount point and mount it.
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/sdb1
sudo mount -a
df -h
The last step is to change the ownership of /media/sdb1 from root to your login name, joe, so you can write to it anytime you want.
Run
Code:
sudo chown -R joe:joe /media/sdb1
ls -la /media
You should see from the output of the second command (above) that you are now the owner of /media/sdb1. Test it by copying something to /media/sdb1 as joe.
