Cannot Mount FAT32 (Suse 10.0 - Updated) [SOLVED]


I have SuSE 10.0 fully updated now..

The Kernel version is 2.6.13-15.11-i386.

I have been unable to mount my FAT32 partition.

The following is the output of fdisk to verify that the partition exists.

Quote:
COPPERSKULL:~ # fdisk /dev/hdb

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 14593.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hdb: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 1912 15358108+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/hdb2 1913 14593 101860132+ 5 Extended
/dev/hdb5 1913 4559 21261996 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdb6 4560 14593 80598073+ 83 Linux

Command (m for help):
This is what the line in /etc/fstab looks like:

Quote:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_data vfat umask=000,iocharset=utf8 0 0
This is the error:

Quote:
COPPERSKULL:~ # mount -a
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
Anybody got a similar problem?
