ERROR AT MOUNTING USB :mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
hi all,
my LINUX version is redhat 9.0 and the name of my usb_flash drive is
"Kingstone Data Traveller" . problem is when i run following code to mount
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
the i got the following error
Code:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems
Unplug the pen drive, wait a few secs, then plug it again. Wait a few secs again and open a console. Issue 'dmesg' and see the last lines regarding the info from kernel, about the pen drive. They can give you some clues on whats going on.
Also, plug the device, then log in as root in a console and do:
dosfsck /dev/sda1
This will check if the fat fs in the drive is ok.
