Can't mount windows file system
Every since I did a kernel update I've been having issues mounting my windows partition. I accidently tried mounting the windows partition as a EXT3 file system and thought that was the problem
When I tried to mount it I get the following mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3, or too many mounted file systems I've formatted the partition and reinstalled windows (making sure it was FAT). I have compiled FAT support in my kernel. Any suggestions? |
Perhaps you should mention exactly the way you're trying to mount the partition. Manually, using 'mount ...' or through fstab? And which is the syntax you're using in both cases.
|
I''ve tried it through fstab and manually. It gives me the same error either way
my line in fstab says "/dev/hda3 /mnt/windows vfat noatime 0 0", which is what I used before. When I try to mount it manually I do this "mount -t vfat /dev/hda3 /mnt/windows" |
another peace of information. If I boot to the gentoo cd it mounts fine.
|
what is the result of the command:lsmod | fat
and: cat /proc/filesystems Also, did you remember to make a new "initrd" file after compiling a new kernel? It could be that the vfat module is in the initrd file that is missing. |
