 |
|
Hi,
Up untill just recently i had no trouble mounting my digital camera - i just type 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/camera/' and all is fine.
However, now when I do that it says "You must specify a filesystem type"
Why? What could have changed?
Where/what should I look at?
Im a bit confused 
Much thx...

check and see if your /etc/fstab is intact still in regards to how you edited the file for your camera
to be recognized for mounting.

Nope
It *did* work a week or two ago, maybe my mount program is responsible?

If you are using a 2.6 kernel, you are going to have to enable codepage 437 and NLS iso8859-1 in your kernel config and recompile. They are both located under File Systems =>Native Language Support when you make menuconfig. Have you changed from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 recently?

From doing some searches based on your info it seems to be a bug in 2.8.1
I cant find where to see if a bug report exists or where to submit one though?
