Bogus logical sector

Jeebizz · 01-05-2005, 06:32 PM

I have setup a 100mb FAT32 partition for transferring data between linux and windows, and I have noticed an error message durning bootup, however, i can rw to the fat32 partition just fine in both windows and linux... the message is this...

Code:

Jan  5 18:06:56 hideyoshi kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 50181

I know that things are still working just fine, but i am still wondering should I just ignore the issue, or what can I do to stop getting that message..?

In your fstab, in the corresponding line for your fat32 partition, try to set the 2 last numbers to :
0 0
if it is not already as this

it's not an error.
FAT doesn't mean fatal.....
