I used diskdrake and created an XFS partition. I formatted it and then I rebooted (as I was asked to do).
On rebooting I noticed an error message when trying to mount the newly created partition. I did not make that much attention.
Then when issuing the "df -Tk" command (to just see my brand new first-time XFS partition listed) I did not see it. Well, I thought, maybe there is something I am missing.... so I verified in /etc/fstab and the partition is listed correctly there.
I can copy files in this partition (mount point is /mnt/backup) and all went well with the copy (and subsequent "ls" command).
So, I decided to MOUNT that partition to verify if mounting would make the partition visible by the "df -Tk" command.... and, surprise, I saw the same error message I saw during boot:
[root@scarlet root]# mount /mnt/backup/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5,
or too many mounted file systems
(/dev/hd5 is where the /mnt/backup XFS partition is created).
Any idea of what I did wrong?
This was an experiment: I wanted to make sure I was able to do something with Journalized partitions before moving to MDK 9.0 where I am planning to use journalized partitions everywhere.
Thanks a lot for any hint.
Best regards
