I have a second drive that I use as a backup drive. Im needing to do
that now but Im unable to mount the drive.
I had set this up a long time ago to do so automatically at boot but
apparently something happened along the way and it is no longer doing
that.
I thought that the command was "mount /dev/sbd1" but I am incorrect.

You have forgotten to post the error message you got, and the output of
'sudo fdisk -l' would be helpful too.

Try "pmount /dev/sdb1" instead. If you want to mount it at boot time,
create an entry in /etc/fstab for the device.

And where is the error message from the mount command?

Hi Wade I put a line in my /etc/fstab file that mounts a partition
on my second hard drive to the first with Ubuntu on it This looks like:

karl@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@karl-desktop:~$

The /dev/hda7 hooking to my /f7home directory is what I want. Now that
partition on my computer is always /f7home/filename/.

I have heard the first time from pmount, it seems to be like 'sudo
mount'. I don't think that another utility that is not installed by
default is necessary for a trivial problem like this. For me it is
clear that it is either a permission problem, or the OP forgot to use
the mounting directory on the command line, and because the new
drive is not in the fstab, mount can't take it from there. But because
I don't like to guess and I want that the OP learns to post questions
in the ML and learns to interpret error messages, I didn't tell this
in the first time.

Again, where is the error message from your mount command!
