<li>View and record the fields for the '''/archive''' mount in your lab logbook, and then issue the following command to reconnect or mount '''/archive''':<br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">mount -t ext4 /dev/centos_centos2/archive /archive</span></code></b><br><br>'''NOTE:''' If you are having problem mounting, use the /dev pathname listing in your /etc/fstab file.<br><br></li>
<li>Confirm that this file-system has been properly mounted. Note: You could have also issued the command: '''mount -a''' to <u>automatically</u> mount the file-systems contained in the '''/etc/fstab''' file.<br><br>Tip: If you had to do manually configure /etc/fstab (eg. only in text-based mode - centos3), you could have issued the command (as root):<br> <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">echo "/dev/centos_centos2/archive /archive ext4 defaults 1 2" >> /etc/fstab</span></code></b><br>(although we don't need to do this, since it was already done).<br><br></li></ol>
'''A curious questionAn Interesting Question''': If root needs to unmount the '''/home''' directory for maintenance but we had to first login in graphically as a regular user, then su to "root", isn't our regular user still logged in so we can't un-mount the /home directory?!? How can we as a Linux System Administrator get around the problem (hint: you already learned it somewhere in lab3!!! Wow, using what we already taught can pay-off in the future ... lol!).
