I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS.
I'm following the instructions on this page:
http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php
This is the line I put into /etc/fstab
/dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat
users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0
And this is the error I get:
[root at localhost mnt]# mount -a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda,
or too many mounted file systems
What is the cause of this error?
For reference, this is the output of fsisk:
[root at localhost mnt]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30020272128 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3649 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 3649 29310561 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Disk /dev/hdb: 30.7 GB, 30738677760 bytes

Try removing that option and see if that fixes your problem.

Try this on /etc/fstab that worked for me /dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat auto,rw,umask=0 0 0 --- Dave Gutteridge <dave at tokyocomedy.com> wrote:> > I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS. > I'm following the instructions on this page: > http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php > > This is the line I put into /etc/fstab > /dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat > > users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0 > > And this is the error I get: > [root at localhost mnt]# mount -a > mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on > /dev/hda, > or too many mounted file systems > > What is the cause of this error? > > For reference, this is the output of fsisk: > [root at localhost mnt]# fdisk -l > > Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30020272128 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3649 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks > Id System > /dev/hda1 * 1 3649 29310561 > c W95 FAT32 (LBA) > > Disk /dev/hdb: 30.7 GB, 30738677760 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3737 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks > Id System > /dev/hdb1 * 1 3644 29270398+ > 83 Linux > /dev/hdb2 3645 3737 747022+ > f W95 Ext'd (LBA) > > > Dave > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >__________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca

It's a pretty small percentage of the disk, so may be a don't-care. Could make it swap as you don't seem to have any. If you want: # fdisk /dev/hdb Command (m for help): t Partition number (1-4): 2 Hex code (type L to list codes): 82 Changed system type of partition 1 to 82 (Linux swap) Command (m for help): w # mkswap /dev/hdb2 Put the following in /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0 # free # swapon -a # free Phil
