 Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2005 6:41 pm Post subject: Cannot mount VFAT (solved) |
 |
|
Here's my partition layout:
| Code: |
hda1 Boot Primary W95 FAT32 (LBA) 15915.92
hda5 Logical Linux ReiserFS 43001.77
hda6 Logical W95 FAT32 (LBA) 20003.89
hda7 Boot Logical Linux swap / Solaris 1003.49
hda8 Logical Linux ext3 98.71
|
And here is my fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/hda8 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda5 / reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sda /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp vfat user=bigun,gid=users,rw,auto 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/media vfat user=bigun,gid=users,rw,auto 0 0
|
And for some reason:
| Code: |
64lappy bigun # mount /mnt/media
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6,
or too many mounted file systems
64lappy bigun # mount /mnt/winxp
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
or too many mounted file systems
|
I've never had trouble before... what am I missing?

what does 'cat /proc/filesystems' says ?
IE did you compile vfat support in your kernel ?
Is it available as module ?

I had this problem too.. check dmesg for errors after you try it. You're missing a kernel option. Go into filesystems, make sure you have DOS filesystem enabled as well as vfat, then go to Native Language Support and enable NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages). Don't ask me why, but it works.
Hope this helps. |

user=bigun and gid=users seem to be bad options for vfat ... Remove them and try again...

| When you get the partitions correctly mounted you can add the option umask=0000 for full r/w. |

Duh.... I forgot.... it was supposed to be "UID" not "users"

As for me I had a similar problem. The problem wasn't fixed by compiling this in but dmesg said it wanted Codepage 437 (which is Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)) and with this I was able to get my iRiver (iFP) working mounted with vfat. Thanks for the suggestion.
