Attaching a partition to Umbutu

[Karl Larsen]

    Trying to get set up for a long stay on Gutsey Ubunto I wanted to 
mount the /home/karl directory from my older Fedora 7 system on here. To 
do that I made a directory /f7home/ here. I checked and the big Fedora 7 
/karl partition is /dev/hda7. So the trick was to mount /dev/hda7 to 
/f7home/.

    I did this in /etc/fstab and it looks like:

karl at karl-desktop:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/hda8
UUID=a9c1cb61-ddfd-44f6-88b0-6dc976daf9ca /               ext3    
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/hda1
UUID=7915f630-518c-425b-9fea-0ef07e50d0f9 none            swap    
sw              0       0
# /dev/sda2
UUID=7d8c37ed-b2ec-4008-a137-f24c6659c5ab none            swap    
sw              0       0
# /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0
/dev/hda7       /f7home          ext3     defaults       1    2
karl at karl-desktop:~$

    This works just fine and is the last entry in the file.

    When I checked my umbuntu karl could not see what was on 
/f7home/karl so I used this:

# chown -R karl * from the /f7home/ directory. Now I can read all that 
is on that huge hunk of files. I need to rm all rpm and other things not 
of interest and that should help. After all this partition is from Fedora 7.
