 |
|
I made a "livecd" build of tinygentoo to run as a server for my companies remote support software. When I try to mount the SCSI hard drive, which is at sda and formated ext3 with
| Code: | | mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/hda |
I get this error on the console
| Code: | | mount: Mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/hda failed: Invalid Argument |
There is not any message in /var/log/messages. The kernel is 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 with ext2 and ext3 support built in. It works if I mount the cdrom to /mnt/hda though.
Does anybody know why this doesn't work or any ideas? |

perhaps you don't have support for the scsi controller

| It does have support for the scsi controller, I am using this inside a VMWare VM and the build host is also running in a VM. Both VM's are identical as are the kernels used by both the host and tinygentoo. Also I can fdisk and mke2fs the drive. Just not mount it. |

Try mounting with just
| Code: | | mount /dev/sda1 /<mountpoint> |

This gives me the same error. It also does it if I use
| Code: | | mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /<mountpoint> |

Well, what SCSI controller do you have ? do you have support for it compiled into your kernel ?

lspci shows
| Code: | | 00:10.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 01) |
and I have Fusion MPT support built into the kernel. It works fine if I use a FAT filesystem and mount it with
| Code: | | mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/hda |
So I know this isn't an issue with SCSI support. |
