Installed opensuse 11 onto a new partition. Disk already has xubuntu on an ext3 partition.
opensuse doesn’t show the sda1 partition where xubuntu lives.
Any idea how to do it?
/etc/fstab is as below.
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST980829A_3PK0PBES-part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST980829A_3PK0PBES-part3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
The easiest way is to use YaST > System > Partitioner to configure /etc/fstab to mount the partition at boot. You can edit /etc/fstab directly (as root) if you are comfortable using console commands.
You have a line in your existing fstab that mounts /dev/sda3:
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST980829A_3PK0PBES-part3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
Add a similar entry to mount /dev/sda1:
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST980829A_3PK0PBES-part1 /ubuntu ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
Edit: One more thing, make sure the mount point (eg /ubuntu) exists with correct r/w permissions first.
Lovely stuff, worked a treat!
Thanks.
…happy ever after. 
Doesn’t Yast Partitioner create the directory /ubuntu (or does that give it the wrong permissions)? Please elaborate – interested.

Actually swerdna, when I wrote that edit, I was assuming the manual editing of /etc/fstab, rather than him using the partitioner tool. 
Thanks
I see
Is there any benefit in changing the permissions on the mount directory from the default (which I suppose is generally root:root and drwxr-xr-x)?
