Read only SCSI - /dev/sda5
Just installed a new SCSI card - SYMBIOS 5C895 - and having mounted the disk that Suse found at /dev/sda5, it tells me that the filesystem is read only - the filesystem is a vfat one, but I don;t think this is the reason why - is it?
Any ideas on this? Why has it gone to read only? The line in the /etc/fstab which is releveant to this disk looks like this: /dev/sda5 /windows/diskpack vfat noauto, user 0 2 Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Mike |
Hi
Try to mount manually and try first. also post ur output of mount commnand :Pengy: :study: |
Hi:
Mounting manually seems to give a similar result - the drive is mounted as a read-only filesystem. There is no output from the mount command. I noticed that the system seems to have created symbolic links to the other mounted windows drives (which were presetn when the kernel was compiled), which seem to be read/writeable. The original mounts that these links point to are read only, but I don;t seem to have any problem with these drives. Another problem (i don;t know if it's connected or not) is that when I try to explore the drive in Konqueror - the first time i get a 'list is unsupported instruction,' error, and thereafter, i get 'drive is busy' error. I can see the files from the command line OK, though. Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks, Mike |
hi.
Is it a vfat or NTFS partition ?. and u can try by mounting with trw option and check the same. Like.. mount -t msdos -orw /dev/sda5 /disk2 Also post the output of mount command or content of /etc/mtab file |
Hi: I used the following line:
/dev/sda5 /windows/diskpack vfatn oauto,user,umask=0 0 2 This made the drive read/write, but I still get the unsupported action listDir error when trying to go to the mount in Konqueror. The output of mount is pasted below: linux:/windows # mount /dev/hdb7 on / type ext2 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/hdb5 on /boot type ext2 (rw) shmfs on /dev/shm type shm (rw) /dev/sda5 on /windows/diskpack type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=0,user=mike) Any ideas? Cheers for any help, Mike |
