[SOLVED] Mounting a logical partition

Question

Scenario:
/dev/sda1 primary NTFS windows boot
/dev/sda2 primary NTFS windows home
/dev/sda3 primary ext4 arch /boot
/dev/sda5 primary ext4 arch /
/dev/sda6 logical ext4 arch /home
/dev/sda7 arch swap
Do I perform mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/home as if it were a "normal" partition?
EDIT: I would mount each logical partition as normal.

Assume your fat-partition is /dev/sda5 (just as an example)
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda5 /some/mount/point
Otherwise - as 's3kt0r' says - you can easily mount a ntfs-partition for read/write as well (using ntfs-3g)
Awesome, thank you.  Marked as solved.
Should I put this command in my fstab, or just make a startup command for this?
You could do either ....
If it will _always_ be there and you always want it mounted - put it in /etc/fstab, -or- you could put it in /etc/rc.local (without using 'sudo' of course).
I'm a great believer in using rc.local because you _know_ that everything which might be needed (modules eg.) will be available by then.
If you use /etc/fstab, your entry would be:
/dev/sda5 /mount/point vfat defaults 0 0
