Hi all,

Can please anybody tell me how to mount partitions in beos from the shell. mount --help isn't of much help. I would like to know the naming scheme for partitions in beos.

Thanks

jefro,

This wasn't actually what I was looking for. What I was looking for is this

This doesn't work? mountvolume -r -l. BeOS will scan the system bus and let you know which volumes are either already mounted or are available for mounting.

Can't really understand what doesn't work.

First give the command
mountvolume -publishall

and afterwards
mount -t dos /dev/disk/ide/ata/0/slave/0_6 /boot/home/data

and in linux terms /dev/hda7 will be mounted in the empty directory /boot/home/data
The advantage of this approach is that you can automatically mount partitions selectively during boot.

Bye
