Hello friends!
Today I have a problem with mounting the filesystem:
# mount /dev/mapper/fujitsu_test /u01
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
# mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/fujitsu_test /u01
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/fujitsu_test,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
This filesystem was workable earlier. (It is my test system, on production system same filesystem mounted as ext4, so I decided that test filesystem is ext4 too.)
I founded something:
# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id|grep -i #my_uuid#
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Nov 1 16:18 dm-uuid-mpath-#my_uuid# -> ../../dm-2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Nov 6 14:23 scsi-#my_uuid# -> ../../sdh
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Nov 6 14:23 wwn-0x#my_uuid# -> ../../sdh
# mount -t ext4 /dev/dm-2 /u01
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/fujitsu_test,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
# mount -t ext4 /dev/sdh /u01
mount: /dev/sdh already mounted or /u01 busy
