I just got a flash drive to work on Linux, then like 2 minutes later I goto mount it to copy something to it and it wont mount. I keep getting "you must specify the filesystem type" So I try every filesystem type there is and I keep getting "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems"
I accidentally typed " man mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick " bacause I wanted to read the man page. The bizarre part is when i hit q to quit, the flash drive worked, I reapeated it and it works everytime. So now I have to put man in front of mounting my flash drive? WTF?.........
