 Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2004 2:52 am Post subject: Can't mount a fat32 partition (RESOLVED) |
 |
|
The problem:
| Code: | # mount -t vfat /dev/sda3 /share
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
or too many mounted file systems |
sda is a 200GB SATA drive split into 4 primary partitions, sda1 is reiserfs, sda2 is swap, sda4 is ntfs
sda3 is a fat32 partition, formatted with windows XP. The LiveCD can mount it perfectly, and Windows XP uses it fine too. There is no entry in fstab for sda3 atm.
System setup: amd64 system, gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.8-r6 with vfat support. Current mounts are:
| Code: | # mount
/dev/sda1 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev type ramfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/dev/sda4 on /ntfs type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
192.168.0.1:/usr/portage on /usr/portage type nfs (rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.168.0.1) |
Any ideas as to how to fix this?

| Yep, thanks, that was it. Compiled cp437 and ISO-8859-1 support into the kernel and it's all god now. |
