TC and Linux file systems displaying problem

Post by *rado84 »

I ran TC in Linux and it works but not as supposed to. It displays only the virtual C: drive which PlayOnLinux made for it and the Linux drive which is named Z:. The problem is that I have two more file systems which I can't make TC to display because the option "mount a device" doesn't work when running in Linux.
Here are two screenshots - one of what I actually have as in file systems and one of what TC displays.

There are no volumes in Linux, all mounted devices are attached as mount points, try to open Z:\media or Z:\mnt, you should see them as subfolders. But I think your emulator should support adding virtual drives for mounted devices or another folders.

Hello, rado84.

In addition to MVV's explanation:

In order to mount additonal disk partitions which have not been mounted automatically during the Linux boot process, use your Linux filemanager, Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar or whatever its name maybe, and mount the partition.

Once this has been done it should be accessible under /media/<name_of_partition> or in very recent Linux versions under /media/<username>/<name_of_partition>. (Hm, this is true on Debian based Linux systems like e.g. Ubuntu and Mint)

In Total Commander the folder /media will be accessible as Z:\media.

HTH,
