Hello,

I am trying to mount my morphos partitions ffs and sfs. I created directories in /mnt/ to have mount points and I edited the file /etc/fstab as indicated by Lugduweb at www.wikipeg.org/wiki/wakka.php?wiki=LinuxUbuntu. When i boot now the partitions do not show up on gnome's desktop. If I click on monitor system icon in the top bar, peripheral tab, the asfs partitions capacity are falsely indicated as 100 % full, but the affs partition capacity is correctely indicated. Under nautilus the respective directories of the partitions have a lock, in the affs boot partition all the files are shown unreadable except bootmenu.bc and the icon files (.info) are not shown. In the asfs partitions the icon files are shown and no files are unreadable or locked. My questions :

- Is it possible to get the rights permanently for all my partitions instead of typing "chmod -R a+w" for each partition ?
- Is it possible to show the partitons on the desktop with if possible their respective morphos icons ?
- Is there a way to show the size and the capacity of each partition correctly ?

weird, when i mount manually my morphOS partitions (using the mount command in terminal) they appear on the desktop with their original icons.

Hello SoundSquare,

I forgot to indicate my fstab. Maybe it is not correct, that is caused by insufficient knowledge of linux. Could you indicate to me if it is correct, or if something is missing ?

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0

/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

/dev/hda3 /mnt/Applis asfs user,rw 0 0
/dev/hda4 /mnt/Internet asfs user,rw 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/Medias asfs user,rw 0 0

I tried also by the terminal, "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/Boot" but i do not master the syntax of the command mount. Could you indicate to me the correct and full syntax you use ?

to manually mount an affs file system (and this should work for Morph OS also but you would use the Morphos file system designation) on the desktop under Ubuntu Linux do the following:

create a folder such as affs1 for the partition on the Desktop

open the terminal
cd to Desktop

if the partition on the RDB formatted drive to be mounted is the first partition and the RDB drive is your second harddrive:

sudo mount /dev/hdb2 affs1 -t affs -o user,rw

you will then enter your user password as the password when requested.

this should set the partition up so that you can access all the files in read write mode without having to individually change the permissions.
