[wplug] unable to mount disk

[John Harrold]

Sometime in May Frank W. Holden Jr. assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| 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

hey frank.

i gave the above example to be as simple as possible for diagnostic
purposes. believe it or not, i formatted the raw device, and there isnt a
partition on it. so i was really mounting the device 'hdf' and not 'hdf1'.
thanks for the comments though.
