[wplug] unable to mount disk

[Frank W. Holden Jr.]

Hi John. I read this thread and to me it seems that if the HDD is 
partitioned then you would have to mount it as follows:

mount -t ext3 /dev/hdf1 /mnt/fs/set1/
                       ^ notice the 1 here... This means the first 
partition on the IDE drive known to the system as F... I would also 
add to the mount string -o rw so you can read/write to the drive. You 
may also want to add your user account name to the options so you have 
  full control of the drive also...

Just a thought!
Frank
