seaking · 09-12-2006, 04:48 PM

hey all

i'm using debian cid & gnome (K-2.6.16)

i dot usually have problems runing any diskonkey but: : i tried the "disks admin" and since i can only acces the DOK throu disks admin and i cant mount it manualy... further more it doesnt save changes and i need to config it each time...

the mount output:

PHP Code:



mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, 
       missing codepage or other error 
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try 
       dmesg | tail  or so

the dmsg output:

PHP Code:



sda: Write Protect is off 
sda: Mode Sense: 45 00 00 08 
sda: assuming drive cache: write through 
 sda: sda1 
FAT: invalid media value (0xb9) 
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda. 
FAT: invalid media value (0xb9) 
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda. 
FAT: invalid media value (0xb9) 
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda.

the syslog lines:

PHP Code:



Sep  9 22:10:27 localhost kernel: FAT: invalid media value (0xb9) 
Sep  9 22:10:27 localhost kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda.

my fstab looks like this:

PHP Code:



# /etc/fstab: static file system information. 
# 
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass> 
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0 
/dev/hda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1 
/dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0 
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,iocharset=utf8,noauto  0       0 
#/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,iocharset=utf8,noauto  0       0 
/dev/sda        /mnt/sda0       vfat    utf8,noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0

i know that the DOk is ok and it works but only throu disks admin and want to go back to mount

thanx

You need to mount /dev/sda1, not /dev/sda . /dev/sda contains the partition table, not the actual partition.

You can see in the dmesg output that you posted that the sda device has a single partition - sda1.

Code:

sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 45 00 00 08
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
 sda: sda1

You can use

Code:

fdisk -l /dev/sda

to get the full partition details.

Also, your fstab entry is wrong. It should be:

Code:

/dev/sda1        /mnt/sda0       vfat    utf8,noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
