Mounting ext3 in Ubuntu???

[thilina]

There are 3 OS's in my pc.Fedora core 4,Ubuntu 5,Win xp.Today I used "sudo umount /media/hda6" command in Ubuntu to unmount hda6.Now hda6 (the Fedora core 4 partition) is not appearing in my desktop in ubuntu.How can I mount it back??
Plz tell me as quickly as possible

[mehulved]

same way

 sudo mount /dev/hda6

or if this doesn't help

sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu
sudo nano /etc/fstab

then add the line

/dev/hda6  /media/ubuntu  ext3   auto,umask=000   0 0

Now again give the very first command.

4 the first command it gives this message

"wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so"


Ill try the second one ,thx 4 helping

I solved the prob.thanx for support

So what was the solution?

@Tech_your_future, the syntax for 'mount' is :
mount <device> <directory>
So it becomes, in this context:
$ sudo mount /dev/hda6 /media/ubuntu

Oops that was an oversight. The first command should work, if your fstab has been set up right. Or else, yes, it will give an error message.

I just formatted the it as Vfat & i made some adjustments to the fstab file

VFAT?
Why use VFAT?
there are better filesystems available.
