Hey there-
I'm plugging in my mp3s drive into my linux machine via a promise ultra66. I didnt' do the hardware detection thing with Yast because it was looking like it wanted to partition the drive. I don't want that. I just want to copy the mp3s. The drive shows up when I hdparm it. So that tells me the system is seeing it. But when I try to mount it I get:
mount /dev/hdg /mnt/mp3s -t ntfs -r
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdg,
or too many mounted file systems
It is an NTFS drive, but I do have the kernel driver for ntfs loaded. I know its in because cat /proc/filesystems
gives me:
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev sockfs
nodev tmpfs
nodev shm
nodev pipefs
ext2
minix
iso9660
nodev nfs
nodev devpts
reiserfs
ntfs
nodev usbdevfs
vfat
So, ntfs shows up. I'm a little lost when it comes to decyphering this message though. Should the ntfs entry have a nodev in front of it? What does the nodev mean?
Any other advice would be great- Like, the mount error, well which is it? is it a superblock error? what's a superblock? How can I tell if there are too many filesystems mounted? I've tried umounting my nfs to another machine to see if that works and get same message.
I've tried searching but this error doesn't seem to get any answers in a bunch of google searches. Anyone know a link that can help me troubleshoot? THANKS!
