On my laptop I have 4 partitions. First for /, second for /home, third for swap and fourth for /boot. The first two are using ext4, the kernel can mount root just fine but it can't mount /dev/sda2:

Quote:
localhost ~ # mount /dev/sda2 /home
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

localhost ~ #


If I run "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2" right before the above the same still happens. I'm using the 2.6.29.1 version of vanilla-sources.

I guess I should enable large file support in the kernel.
