Mounting a USB Flash Drive
I try to mount my USB flash drive and I get the following message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems I am using Fedora Core 2, am new to Linux, and trying to learn this in class. Instructor isn't much help. |
Sometimes, the partition table is not correctly interpreted. In some cases, it works to mount the device itself (/dev/sda) instead of the partition (/dev/sda1). You could also try to re-format the flash drive under Linux.
|
what format is it; vfat or NTFS?
|
It is in the VFAT format. Or so I thought.
|
As root try mount it with command:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt |
