Enable slave hdd in Ubuntu

[Will H. Backman]

To mount it manually, you would create a directory to mount it to, and then mount it.

For example, "sudo mkdir /mnt/old-suse", and then "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/old-suse"

If you want to always mount it at boot, you would first make a backup up your /etc/fstab "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig", and then edit /etc/fstab to add that entry.  Use the existing entry for hda1 as an example.

Hi, I´ve just installed Ubuntu in my Computer. I have 2 hdd´s (master with ubuntu and slave with ext2 format). The previous intallation was with Suse and now I can´t watch the information that is on the slave hdd. I try to mount the unit and there is a message telling there is no entry in fstab file....
Behind I append the exit of fdisk.
Thanks for your help.
