That doesn't work. Maybe you meant : # mount -t btrfs /dev/sda17 /btrfs ? > it is failing with wrong fs type bad option. when i see the dmesg, > mount command is searching for ext3, ext2 filesystem on sda17. but > not btrfs. > even in the man page of mount, btrfs is not mentioned as supported > file system type. > > Please help me to solve this issue. does your kernel support btrfs? Sounds like maybe not. To load it in case it's a module: # modprobe btrfs then see if the kernel even knows what btrfs is, either via the module, or due to being built into the kernel image already: # grep btrfs /proc/filesystems The first cmd might fail if it's built into the kernel, but if that's the reason, the 2nd one should find btrfs in /proc/filesystems... If not, you need a kernel that supports btrfs. -Eric > thanks > rajan > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >
