Hi all,
I have the following problem:
As soon as i mount this external USB hardisk i get the following error:
---------------------------
mount -v /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sda1
I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or
/proc/filesystems
Trying vfat
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
-------------------------
/var/log/messages:
----------------------------

also these:

and this one:

Any ideas what the problem could be?
