Make sure that VFAT support is in your kernel and try mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/$(SOME_DIR) This has always worked in my case. Hope this helps, thanks, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Matt_Domsch@Dell.com [mailto:Matt_Domsch@Dell.com] Sent: Friday, November 17, 2000 3:40 PM To: linux-ia64@linuxia64.org; chaffee@cs.berkeley.edu Subject: [Linux-ia64] FAT32 file system not mounting on IA-64 Has anyone tried using a FAT32 file system on an IA-64 Linux box? While this works on my IA-32 system (kernel 2.4.0-test9), this fails on my IA-64 system (same kernel). (use fdisk to make one big sdb1 partition, 18GB or so) mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdb1 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/fat32-1 On IA-64, I get the following error: Directory 1: bad FAT (from linux/fs/fat/inode.c) File system panic (dev 08:11) FAT error (from linux/fs/fat/misc.c) File system has been set read-only. If the file system previously existed, after the (read-only) mount, I can only see garbage. I suspect that the on-disk data structures as defined in the kernel are not 64-bit clean, but that's just a guess. Any pointers are appreciated.
