I have a dual boot Ubuntu Dapper & WinXP. WinXP is on hda1 and Ubuntu on hdb6. Things are messed up on my 80 GB hdb drive, some of the partitions Ubuntu recognizes and Gparted recognizes some that Ubuntu does not. I want to try to get this straighten out if possible and I am looking for some advice. Below is what I have:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb6 / reiserfs notail 0 1
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 reiserfs defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
And this is what Gparted recognizeses for hdb:
/dev/hdb1 reiserfs 13.97 GB
/dev/hdb2 extended 19.75 GB
/dev/hdb5 linux swap 1.12 GB
/dev/hdb6 boot 18.63 GB
/dev/hdb3 reiserfs 19.53 GB
/dev/hdb4 reiserfs 21.27 GB
As you can see, Ubuntu does not recognizese hdb3 & hdb4. As of now I use hdb1 for storage and it is not large enough. First of all, is there a reason why Ubuntu does not see hdb3 & hdb4 ? Would it be there are to many partitions on one HD ? I would like to have one partition for storage and one more for another Linux distro if possible.......what would you do if this was you ?
