Dear Club members:
Request for comments.
a no go on : mount -t vfat /dev/uba /uba;
---
some specs;
fdisk /dev/uba -p
128 MB, 129499136 bytes
255 heads, 63, sectors/track, 15 cylinders
Units - cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot : /dev/uba1
Start : 1
End : 15
Blocks : 120456
Id : b
System : W95 FAT32
----
Dmesg | tail :
VFS : Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev uba
FAT : bogus number of reserved sectors
end Dmesg.
----
mount -t vfat /dev/uba /uba
mount : wrong fs type, bad options, bad superblock on
dev uba.
----
less /etc/fstab:
/dev/uba /uba vfat rw.users,noauto 0 0
----
tried
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/uba bs=1024 count=129499
in the hopes of clearing any disorderly files.
seems there were 225 sectors originally not 15?
thanks, Anthony K
