My ubuntu install is on hda2. When I try to sudo mount -t ext3 
/dev/hda5 /mnt/FC3
I get:
 /dev/hda5 already mounted or /mnt/FC3 busy
and I can't figure out why. As far as can tell hda5 isn't mounted and
I don't know what /mnt/FC3 being busy is all about so what is causing
this? Could this be due to the Fedora partition being set up as a
logical vol.?
I can mount hda1 without any problems.

Can someone tell me what might be causing this?
