However, you might want to mount it manually first to check. You can always try to manually mount it first: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/disk2 If you don't get an error, it is mounted. To unmount it, use: umount /dev/sdb1 or umount /media/disk2 Answer 2: As for the flags a 'man mount' seems to explain them: user_xattr Enable Extended User Attributes. See the attr(5) manual page. acl Enable POSIX Access Control Lists. See the acl(5) manual page Answer 3: Not sure the guys that rolled the SUSE distribution probably thought it was safer to it that way.
