[wplug] unable to mount disk

[John Harrold]

Sometime in May don assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| ok,
| 
| new install/upgrade that file system in the kernel ?
| if as a module, the module loaded ?
| 
| fdisk and fstab are different.
| or maybe redhat uses mtab ?
| 
| sorry for not beeing specific or maybe even not all
| that helpfuli dont know much about redhat past 
| having a shell at 1 point on a friends box.

np.

i understand the difference between fdisk and fstab. i alluded to fdisk to
suggest that the system see's the disk as being there. the filesystem type
is ext3, and since all of the other partitions are ext3 i don't think
kernel support is the issue. i have an entry in fstab, but simply mounting
the partition with the mount command fails.  redhat uses both fstab and
mtab. my understanding is that mtab is created by the system and lists the
filesystems currently mounted.
