From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: My hard drive is split as follows: - hda1 - Windows hda2 - Marks start of extended partition hda5 - Another partiton that I use inside windows hda6 - Another partition that I use inside windows hda7 - /boot hda8 - swap hda9 - / I can get windows mounted without any trouble with the command :- mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows However, when I try it for hda5 it won't work. It just gives me the error message: - [root@public2-bror1-3-cust153 root]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/new mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5, or too many mounted file systems I thought right, maybe too many things are mounted, so I unmounted windows and tried it again, but it still did not work. hda6 also mounts without a problem. The only thing that I can think of is maybe that the partition is too big? hda1 19Gig hda5 37.2Gig hda6 27.9Gig sfdisk gives the following: Disk /dev/hda: 14593 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 0+ 2432 2433- 19543041 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 2433 14592 12160 97675200 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hda5 2433+ 7300 4868- 39102178+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 7301+ 10946 3646- 29286463+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda7 10947+ 10959 13- 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda8 10960+ 11090 131- 1052226 82 Linux swap /dev/hda9 11091+ 14592 3502- 28129783+ 83 Linux /dev/hda: OK Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mount-2.11y How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run the mount command for /dev/hda5 2. 3.
