I'm trying to mount USB IDE HD
I can mount OK an USB RAM with:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd
when I try the same with a 40GB IDE/USB HD, I get:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd
/dev/sda1: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd -t auto
/dev/sda1: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd -t fat
mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd -t vfat
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd -t mdos
mount: fs type mdos not supported by kernel
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd -t msdos
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems
what do I need ?
even though the drive is 'IDE' the interface is /dev/sd??, yes ?
