 Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2006 3:35 pm Post subject: Problem Mounting My Drive |
 |
|
I'm trying to mount my second hard drive which is FAT32. I'm using the same Fstab as my previous Gentoo installation which worked fine, but for some reason this one doesnt work.
| Code: |
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda4 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/data vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,user 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
The error lies within the sbd1 line and when I boot up I get an error something along the lines of:
Wrong FS type, bad option, or too many filesystems mounted.
* Failed to mount local filesystem
Sorry for not having an exact error message but it flies by so fast. |

Yes it does. I made sure if it when I was configuring during the install.
And I just double checked 
EDIT: After double checking the kernel settings, I saw that the iocharset was different then before. So I changed it to iso8859-1 in the fstab and everything is peachy. |
