From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040622 Epiphany/1.2.6 Description of problem: $mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/hdxx /mnt/xxx $mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdxx, or too many mounted file systems /dev/hdxx filesystem is fat32. /dev/hdxx can't be mounted. "FAT: utf8 is not a valid IO charset for FAT filesystems" display in dmesg Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.7-448 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/hdxx /mnt/xxx 2. display "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdxx, or too many mounted file systems" 3. Can't mount fat32. Additional info:
I have the same bug. I can't mount FAT32 partition. In my fstab I had: /dev/hda5 /mnt/respaldo vfat auto,exec,dev,suid,umask=0 0 0 Partition mounted automaticaly at start. Now appears in the boot log the same phrase: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdxx, or too many mounted file systems" I tried: /dev/hda8 /mnt/respaldo vfat auto,defaults,iso-8859-1 0 0 but i had the same error.
I had the same problem - I could not mount vfat partitions. In kernel 2.6.7-1.456 from rawhide everything seems to be fine.
The same prolem still happens in kernel 2.6.7-1.457.
Please see : [PATCH] FAT: doesn't recognize "iocharset=utf8" and doesn't useNLS_DEFAULT http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.2/1218.html $mount -o utf8 /dev/hdxx /mnt/xxx This option work well. Isn't my posting a bug?
I checked mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/hdxx /mnt/xxx with 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel and it works. I also noticed that there was a small update in documentation (/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.7/Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt). For example compare kernel-doc-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 and kernel-doc-2.6.6-1.435 - this lines were added: "NOTE: "iocharset=utf8" is not recommended. If unsure, you should consider the following option instead." How about closing this bug?
Should be "these lines" - sorry!
