From: mancus@sweetpea.jsc.nasa.gov (Keith Mancus) Subject: ext2fs: problem mounting Date: Thu, 8 Apr 1993 21:19:07 GMT
I installed Linux (via SLS 1.0) on my new 486DX2/66 Gateway
machine over the past two nights. Mostly everything works
fine, including the Xmono server. (I haven't set up the color
Xconfig yet.)
Unfortunately, I can't get my extended filesystem (ext2fs) to
mount. I created partition #4, changed the id to 81 (or whatever
Linux extended file system was listed as), verified that the
partition was really there, and did a mke2fs on it. So far, it
seemed happy. I also added the line
/dev/hda4 /users efs -t ext
to /etc/fstab. But attempts to mount /users result in
mount: unknown error 26240
I read the man page on fstab, and tried it with and without the -t ext
at the end of the line. Minor nit for man page writers: please provide
*examples* of sample fstab lines. I haven't seen any two Unix systems
that use quite the same fstab options (not counting the first three
entries on each line, which are pretty standard)...This is 0.2b of
ext2fs; I haven't grabbed 0.2d yet.
Thanks for any help. My hat's off to all those who contributed;
I've already seen enough to be impressed.
