Interesting - that's of course not what I was referring to, I was asking whether he had two different partitions he was trying to mount at the /mnt mountpoint. But what you did doesn't work on my machine:
nujoma:/mnt# mount /dev/hdb3 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hdd1 on /src2 type vfat (rw,umask=0000) /dev/hdb1 on /rosa type vfat (rw,umask=0000) /dev/hdc1 on /theodor type vfat (rw,umask=0000) /dev/hdd3 on /share type ext2 (rw) nujoma:/mnt# mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/tmp mount: /dev/hdb3 already mounted or /mnt/tmp busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdb3 is mounted on / nujoma:/mnt# uname -a Linux nujoma 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - Ph.D. Candidate, UC Berkeley, Dept. of Sociology (Soon: Asst Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin On Mon, 26 Mar 2001, csj wrote: > On Sunday 25 March 2001 23:57, Andrew Perrin wrote: > > Forgive me if this is obvious, but is your first one mounted on > > /mnt?
