Using CD drives?

You should do ext3. It's journaling!

Someone told me to do ext2.  I can't remember who, but I suppose I'll make it ext3 instead ;p

Well, AFAIK ext3 is newer, and therefore better. Also, about the mount. The directory you're mounting something to always needs to already exist.

So just mkdir, like someone said, and then mount.

Alright, slick! Also, how well does this handle removing+inserting different CDs?

/dev/hda1 = C:\
/dev/hdb1 = D;\
/dev/hdc1 = E:\

Setup:
*login as root*
cd /mnt
mkdir cd1
mkdir cd2

On box start:
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/cd1
mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cd2

Right?

You can only mount a drive if it has a cd in it already.  To change the cd, you have to umount it, change the disk, and mount it again.  There's automated ways of doing it, auto-mounter I think, and some Window Managers do it for you (I had a WindowMaker applet that I just had to click to mount/umount my drives).

Don't be fooled by that trick.  Note: make is from the late 80's.  And ReiserFS is newer than ext3, but worse, I'm told.  So yeah. Everything else in this thread is good though
