USB mass storage device file system

Hello,

I have been trying to mount my USB mass storage device in my SJDS, but I keep getting the following error message:

/dev/sda1: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the file system type

Does anyone know what this message means and what kind of file system type exists on USB mass storage devices?

Thanks.

most likely it's vfat. Try

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
