Hello, I have a HP NetServer LH3R running Suse 10 and I've put in a firewire
PCI card and connected a firewire external HD to that card, linux sees and
can interact with the HD fine but since I'm planning to install cPanel and
would like to use the firewire drive as the clients home folder for added
disk space I need the drive to be automounted during boot, so far I've tried
adding "mount -rw /dev/hdb1 /websites"  (without the quotes of course) to
/etc/rc.d/boot.local but that didn't work so I removed that and then tried
adding "/dev/sdb1 /websites ext3 rw,auto,user,exec 0 0" (without the quotes
of course) to /etc/fstab and now Suse sees the drive and knows the
mountpoint should be /websites but despite auto being in the fstab file it's
not auto mounting during the boot it's still not working :-(...can anyone
please tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do to get this drive
to auto mount during boot? I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to
work and would greatly appreciate any help you guys can provide me, thanks!
:-)
