I have 40 gigs of pure media on /dev/hda itching to be unleashed upon my room if only it could!!!
Mount:
Code:
/dev/hdb2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hdb5 on /mnt/win type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
/dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,user=bennyp)
FDisk -l
Code:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4982 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

[root@localhost bennyp]# mount /media
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@localhost bennyp]#
Do this
1) on command line type parted
check which /dev parted i giving you info about : /dev/hda or /devhdb
2) on parted prompt type print
tell us what the print out is. I solved this problem in 3 days. You should be able to do it in 1 minute if you can give me the above printout
thatnks alot guys, especially to michaelk!!!
i know there have been [b]enough[.b] posts on the subject but none of em solved my (pretty boneheaded) problem
thanks!!
