You made some typo's... `Dev/hdb1' should be: `/dev/hdb1' . Just like you
are listing below in your message. That's why prob. the below works and
the previous not.

If that didn't solve it, put some error messages that occur in your next
message.

Peculiar problem mounting a harddrive

Dear all,

I have a peculiar problem mounting a hard drive on the mount point
"/mnt/LinuxH1".

I have edited the /etc/fstab at as follows:-

Dev/hdb1 /home/LinuxH1 auto defaults 0 0

But, I am able to mount the device with the mount command as follows

mount /dev/hdb1 /home/LinuxH1

Can someone suggest me what cont be the problem? Why am I not able to
mount the device at mount time using the fstab entry?

Regards,
Mukund Jampala

Make sure you have /dev/hdb1 *not* Dev/hdb1
Remove auto.

Cheers,

Why should one do that? At least he should replace it with the
appropriate type of file system. Removing the filesystem type should get
an error.
