How to mount ALL partitions of a new hard disc at once?
in [General Linux]

Prev: How do I revert from software RAID back to separate partitions?
Next: What is the "market share" of the different Filesystems (ext3, ext4, Reiser, JFS, XFS, VxFS). Make a guess
From: Peter Hanke on 28 Jul 2010 05:33 Assume I have an external hard disc which I connect to my local computer. After boot of my Linux (Ubuntu) the new hard disc appears in /dev as /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb5 So as far as I can see the hard disc /dev/sdb has three parititons: /sdb1 /sdb2 and /sdb5 I can mount them now individually step-by-step e.g. mount -f ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/myexthd1 First question: Do I have to mount the wrapping /dev/sdb as well? How can I mount all three partitions in one step (=one command)? Afterwards the mounting should be as follows (or similar): /dev/sdb1 -> /mnt/myexthd/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 -> /mnt/myexthd/sdb2 /dev/sdb5 -> /mnt/myexthd/sdb5 How can I achieve this? Peter

One is a primary and one a logical contained within a primary. That second primary is probably sdb2, but I cannot tell without the output of fdisk -l > > I can mount them now individually step-by-step e.g. > > mount -f ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/myexthd1 > > First question: Do I have to mount the wrapping /dev/sdb as well?
