[SOLVED] Unable to mount using udisks, but mount is working

arj1singh · 03-06-2011, 12:57 PM

I am using Debian 6.0. When I try to mount a drive (USB) in GNOME or using udisks, I end up with following error message:

Code:

Mount failed: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

And the when executing

Code:

dmesg | tail

Code:

[ 2123.409726] UDF-fs: No VRS found
[ 2123.409733] UDF-fs: Rescanning with blocksize 2048
[ 2123.433416] UDF-fs: No VRS found

[ 2160.434359] UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
[ 2160.479482] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.

Seems like it is trying to mount a CD.

But I am able to mount the same using

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

I tried the same with different filesystem and getting same message form udisks.

I am able mount other hard disk partition using udisks:

Code:

sudo udisks --mount /dev/sda1

Help me to mount drives using udisks. I don't know how I can configure udisks.
Sorry for my bad English.

Sorry friends, I didn't see /etc/fstab file. It had entries:

Code:

/dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

Which was creating the problem and also it is coming default in Debian Live GNOME install.
