Can't see boot partition using Nautilus [SOLVED]

jeff story · 2009-06-24 19:35:31

I have a separate boot partition, ext2, sda10, for my Arch install. However, I can't browse in with Nautilus from my Arch install. I can with my Ubuntu installs on this computer though. I have tried with both regular and root users.

My Arch install uses sda10,11,12 for boot, root, and home.

[jeff@Arch2009p2 ~]$ mount
/dev/sda11 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev type ramfs (rw,relatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda10 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda12 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /media/sda6 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /media/sda8 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda9 on /media/sda9 type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/jeff/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=jeff)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Do you see partition in Nautilius or no?
What errors do you have?

No, Nautilus running in Arch does not show that partition.

If I enter /media/sda10 in Nautilus address bar, I get:

Could not find "/media/sda10".
Please check the spelling and try again.

In a pop up dialog box.

Try to mount partition: mount /dev/sda10 /mnt

sda10 is already mounted.

[root@Arch2009p2 jeff]# mount /dev/sda10 /mnt
mount: /dev/sda10 already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda10 is already mounted on /mnt

[jeff@Arch2009p2 ~]$ mount
/dev/sda11 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev type ramfs (rw,relatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda10 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda12 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /media/sda6 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /media/sda8 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda9 on /media/sda9 type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/jeff/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=jeff)
/dev/sda10 on /mnt type ext2 (rw)

OK........My newbie bad..........Never used a separate boot partition.

I was expecting it to show up in Nautilus under my "computer" location as separate media, which it doesn't in Arch.

However, it's showing up in /mnt, ......

Thanks for the help!!!
