That's not to say that they're not in use. A quick and simple way to
test if they are mounted is to open a terminal window (redhat -> system-
tools -> terminal), su, umount /dev/hdb1. If it doesn't report an error,
the drive is not mounted. If it does report an error, then FC has
swallowed it and is using it invisibly.
If it's not mounted, create a mount point (cd /; mkdir shared - you'll
need to be root for that though). Edit /etc/fstab so it has the line
/dev/hdb1 /shared ext3 noauto,user,exec,kudzu 0,0
That will then be mountable and you set your shares to there. You should
see my fstab for a nightmare ;-p
IMHO a better way to sort out what file systems have been mounted is to
use the command:
df -vh
That should tell you which devices are mounted, where they are mounted,
and how much space is available and used.
Compare that with the output of
fdisk -l
and you should have a complete picture of what partitions have been
defined and which ones have been formatted and mounted.
