Re: [gentoo-user] Can't mount a fat32 partition

Thanks all. It's fixed. When I ran dosfsck /dev/hda5 I got the error: Logical sector size is zero So I re-created the file system with mkfs -t vfat -F 32 /dev/hda5 (after backing up all my files!) and now it mounts properly. Not sure I understand it because I hadn't run the mkfs command on hda1

[gentoo-user] Can't mount a fat32 partition

Hi, Here's a strange one... I use 2 partitions for Windows 98, hda1 and hda5. I set both up as type c (fat32 LBA) during my gentoo installation, using fdisk. The entries in /etc/fstab are almost identical: /dev/hda1/mnt/win_cvfatumask=0,noexec 0 0 /dev/hda5/mnt/win_d
