having some troubles mounting a second drive
I installed a second hard drive in my server on the IDE2 channel. The bios and Linux see the drive fine.
First, I zeroed out the drive using: dd bs=1024k if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc Then I edited the partition using: fdisk /dev/hdc -- created a new primary partition using all space and wrote the partition table. I then created the partition as EXT3 using: mkfs.ext3 -m 0 -j /dev/hdc1 The above steps appear to have worked fine, however when I try to mount the drive it says that it's all ready mounted or the mount location is busy (which does not appear to be the case) #mount /dev/hdc1 /backup #mount: /dev/hdc1 already mounted or /backup busy #mount /dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /sys type sysfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/hda8 on /hsphere type ext3 (rw,usrquota) /dev/hda7 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /dev/hda3 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda2 on /var type ext3 (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) #umount /dev/hdc1 umount: /dev/hdc1: not mounted I've tried rebooting and also adding the following to the fstab to no avail: /dev/hdc1 /backup ext3 defaults 1 1 For some reason linux wants to think that this drive is mounted although it is not. Any ideas? |
This error may come up if you are in /backup directory when attempting to mount.
