I am trying to mount an additional hard drive under /etc/fstab, but am having some trouble. I'm using Fedora 6, and am a little unfamiliar with the VolGroup00/LogVol terminology in fstab.
Below is the fstab entry with the sdc1 drive that I am trying to automount at boot.
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 vfat defaults 1 1
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
When I manual mount it, it shows up as sda1, and contains nothing. Very wierd. I appreciate any tips or advice. Thank You

Would u please give a little more detail? Is ur hard drive an external usb drive? Otherwise why sdc1? What error message r u getting?
Try the following and let me know. It should mount it even if u hot swap it in usb port. Maintain right format for fstab. Here I can't give in right format because of yahoos useless editor.
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 vfat pamconsole,noatime,sync,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

It's not just a different layout. It's a logical abstraction
from disks. LVM seperates physical hardware from
logical storage units. If you just want to hook the disk
up and see what's there do it the old way with /dev/sda1.
If you want to keep it you really want to RTFM on LVM.
It's worth it and far too much to explain here.
