Alrighty ..... this is just an inconveniance....not life threatening

Clean install of drake 9.1 RATHER THAN
/mnt/windows and /mnt/NT
like it was when i upgraded from 9.0, i get

/mnt/_win and /mnt/_win C

To remedy, i unmounted the partitions and renamed them. Go me lol. On remount...going into the /mnt directory gives me....

/windows /_win /NT and /_win C

The only active ones are /windows and /NT .... thats where the partitions are mounted. If you try to access either /_win or /_win C, Konquerer stalls ... Deleting these directories works...... until you close the window ...


I Just want the /windows and /nt..... so if anyone can help me get rid of the other two, that would be great!

Thanks guys!

Did you also make the required mountpoint changes in /etc/fstab?

Im pretty sure that HardDrake takes care of updating fstab on its own.......

Perhaps you should check before we continue on.

cat /etc/fstab

If im reading that right, fstab is ok because its pointing hda to
/mnt/nt

and hdb to
/mnt/windows

You removed the mountpoints as root

# rmdir /mnt/_win

and then it returns again?

Yup...............

# rmdir /mnt/_win
rmdir: `/mnt/_win': No such file or directory

And then at what point do they reappear?

ok.....at least for now its working out......

restarted (because my cd-roms locked up) and went to /mnt and voila ...... only /windows and /nt

May be back here in 10 tho :D

Thank you wise and all-powerful mdwatts!

Glad to help and certainly do hope they don't return again.
