static mount points in Fedora 12

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – How do I get my optical drives to use static mount points in Fedora 12? Mounting by disk label does not play nicely with Wine. It used to be that this would be done by using gnome-mount, or editing the HAL configuration, but it seems that these methods have been obsoleted starting with Fedora 12. (HowTos)

Stories similar to static mount points in Fedora 12

I am having a whirlwind of trouble mounting a drive over nfs onto my FreeBSD machine from Fedora. I can mount from Fedora to Fedora using nfs (and its external IP) without fail, and I can mount from ubuntu to FreeBSD over NFS. I have set Fedora's SELinux to permissive with no noticeable change.

I will try to provide as much information as possible.

I am quite new to Fedora.

[What I am trying to do] On Fedora 16 (Gnome 3), I am trying to mount network drives at boot automatically.

In providing the same setup in fstab and same mount points as every other distro I use, I cannot get a mount to work at all in Fedora 18 Gold Beta

Everything indicates the mounts are working, mount shows them, mount -a and umount works.

I can edit fstab and run mount -a and the changes are instant

When I try to cd to these mounts, I and su are both told we have no permissions.

When I mount an ntfs partition with volume label, thearchies, I discovered that fedora has created a new mount point for devices, /run. Can anyone explain what place /run has in the file hierarchy standard or is this just fedora 17's own idiosyncracy? this is what the mount command produced for that volume.

Hi I have an external 300GB (Toshiba) disk which I encrypted (using cryptsetup luksFormat) and then installed an NTFS filesystem on (need to be able to use it in both Linux and Windows - using FreeOTFE). The disk mounts fine in windows and on my Fedora 10 system it automounts.

I'm starting to get annoyed about mounting disk drive in Fedora 18 Gnome 3. I can't access any hard drive connected internally (sata) or externally (usb, esata), I don't have a privilege to see content of the drive (sorry for my English).

Partition Settings 19 weeks 2 days ago

Hi guys,

I just got a 32 gig SDCard and partitioned it in half for whatever reason. I was wondering if there was any place I can mount it that doesn't take away from the standard mount points? I'd like to use something like

mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /sd-ext

Only I don't want to mount it to /sd-ext.

On Fedora 17, I am trying to mount a hard drive as slave using the following command:

mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/fedora8

And I get this error:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'

How do I mount this hard drive as slave?

Creating mounting point 39 weeks 5 days ago

I am mounting an image, and just realized that I have to create the directory for mounting point first. The command mount won't mount to a non-existing directory.

But I seem to remember in some cases, when I insert some external device, such as external HDD and CD, I don't have to create mounting point myself.
