How correctly mount exernal reiser drive?

[hawihoney]

Hi,

 

i would like to mount an eSATA drive. Whatever I use (unMENU, own mount commands) I end up with the following permissions:

 

drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 240 2009-11-19 16:51 disk1/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk10/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk11/
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 128 2009-11-19 16:51 disk12/
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 128 2009-11-19 16:51 disk13/
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 128 2009-11-19 16:51 disk14/
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root 152 2009-11-19 16:51 disk2/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk3/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk4/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk5/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk6/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk7/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk8/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 104 2009-11-19 16:51 disk9/
drwx------  5 root root 104 2009-11-24 19:05 edisk/   <--- look here
drwxr-xr-x  1 root root 240 2009-11-19 16:51 user/

 

What's the correct way to mount?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Are you sure that there is a file system on the drive?  Try running one of the fdisk tools on it (fdisk? cfdisk?).

Thanks for your answer.

 

Yes it is. What I do now is:

 

#mkdir /boot/mnt
#mkdir /boot/mnt/edisk
mount -t reiserfs -o users,noatime,nodiratime /dev/sdj1 /boot/mnt/edisk
chmod -R 777 /boot/mnt/edisk/

 

It looks pain wrong but it works.

 

It's an eSATA drive standing outside the array. It's the playground for mySQL and nzbget.

 

Regards

Harald
