Other file systems.

Since I run QNX RTP in a multiboot system, I would like to have
access to some of the other partitions from QNX. Especially a FAT32
partition, on my second HDD which I already share between Linux and
Windows 2000.

I read the documentation on filesystems, and tried ‘use mount’, to no
avail, since this somewhat seems to differ from the syntax I’ve used
in Linux.

So, do anybody have a pointer to a howto on setting up automatic
mount for foreign filesystems (I’d also like to automatically mount
some NTFS5 partitions, and a Linux ext2-partitions)

Mine just showed up automagically as /fs/hd[0123]-dos

try it, if you are afraid do -r (read-only)

If you had the type (iso9660 for CD, vfat for WIN/DOS) specified
in Linux in /etc/fstab, you only need to type a condensed version of mount
either: mount /dev/[sh]d[a-d][0-9] -or- /mount_point

NTFS is a problem, for any non-MS system, free or commercial
because MS does not document it enough. security through obscurity.

I have not tried ext2 yet - does lxrun expect the linux libraries under
/linux/lib,
/linux/usr/lib, etc? I label my ext2 partitions (e2label) root, home, var,
usr
I thought I might make a sh script (MntExt2All) that in addition to under
/fs recreates
the tree under /linux/…/… (if QNX supports ext2 labels and
multi-mount-point)


I did put QNXXrtp.iso on a Zip 100 (only 91M not worth burning a CD-R)

umount /fs/cd0
mount -r -t cd /fs/hd_-dos/QNXrtp.iso /fs/cd0 --(replace _ with drive
number)

then run package manager and select CD repository like normal

Figured out what the problem was. After I had let qnx trash the
partition table in an attempt to mount the fat32-partition, I had to
repartition.

Only this time, I did not put my fat32-partition as a logical
partition in an extended partition. I created it as a primary
partition, and (whoaaah), rtp autodetected, and automounted my fat32-
partition.

Which brings up the million dollar question? Is mounting logical
partitions on extended partitions supported at all?
