Pls somebody can help me?
i have 2 scsi hdd with 1 partion on each.
f1st hdd : /dev/sda1
2nd hdd: /dev/sdb1

the /dev/sdb hdd is ok and mounted but the other won`t mount .
the partion type are the same 83 (Linux), i maded with cfdisk
I am using slackware 10.0

root@eos1:/mnt# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Euro2
root@eos1:/mnt# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/Euro
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
root@eos1:/mnt#

Did you format the /dev/sda1 with a filesystem?
Do you have an entry for this filesystem in /etc/fstab?

mount -t fstype /dev/sda1 /mnt/Euro

Replace fstype with the filesystem type of the partition.

yes i have formated de /dev/sda

i have formated the partition to ntfs ...won`t work

root@eos1:/mnt# mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/Euro
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems

i have formated with ext3 ...nothing

I do not have an entry in fstab but i wanna mount the partition manually

What command did you use to format the partition with ext3?

crocodilu · 07-19-2005, 07:43 AM

i used cfdisk
the type of partition is 83 Linux
i`m not sure it is ext3...doens`t matter
i used cfdisk and i made the partition ntfs
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/Euro
error back fstype...

how else could i format de sda1 with ext3?

i just wanna mount the partition could u help me pls?

i am a beginner

It does matter. cfdisk just creates the partition.
You then need to create the filesystem with the mkfs command. linux can not create a NTFS filesystem. If you are looking to share data between windows and linux then I would use a FAT32 filesystem.

With cfdisk make sure the partition ID is 83
To create an ext3 filesystem as root enter the following command.
mke2fs -j /dev/sda1

You should be able to mount the filesystem
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/Euro

try using mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 (if you want it ext3)
then try mounting using
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt Euro
