Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 On boot and if I try to mount my Windows partitions with just mount /dev/hda1 it gives me the error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems Even on my brand new HD. If I remove all the options in /etc/fstab for that partition, it mounts fine at boot and with just mount /dev/hda Ex: I change this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 to this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat and it mounts fine. I've tried removing one option at a time, but all of them have to be removed for it to work. What could be the problem? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 In my fstab it looks like: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 so I think you mixed codepage and umask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 And just for comparison, here's mine: /dev/hde1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 I've had no problems with mine at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 when using the mount command, you can do this.. mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c That option tells it to figure it out.. or mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat = fat32 If you try this and it doesn't work, then hmmm... if that's the case, do a umount /mnt/win_c first and check that the folder is empty before attempting to mount.. Also make sure you haven't mounted /dev/hda1 somewhere else.. (check fstab carefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 With the options the way they were originally, cannonfodder, this works: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c It always has, but the partition won't mount at boot, because I'm assuming it does just this: mount /dev/hda1, praying that fstab knows what it is doing. I will try to rearrange my codepage to like the others and see what happens. Thanks. P.S. I can mount /dev/hdc just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I have tired rearranging my lines to look like y'all's with no luck. I've even changed my iocharset=iso8859-1 to iocharset=iso8859-15 with the same outcome. I must stress again that mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c works fine, but mount /dev/hda1 does not work and gives me the errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
