I can't mount my IDE hard drive, even though I can see it in the /proc filesystem. I'm trying mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /hdd.
/dev/hda[?] don't exist in the simple filesystem. Did you add the devices to devices.txt?
Yes I did. I wasn't sure if I added them correctly, though. I just
copied
most of the entries from another line and changed the major and minor numbers.
Hmm.. That should work. I would verify when you boot the image that the devices really exist and the numbers are right.
Do you really have ext3 in the kernel or just ext2? ext2 will not mount a ext3 system if the journal is dirty with out a patch and even then only ro.
/proc/filesystems lists ext3
I think the error is something different. I can mount my USB key that I formatted ext2, but when I try /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/sda1, it says Unknown error 6, which is "no such device or address".
When I do a ls -l /dev/ I get brw-rw---- 1 0 0 3, 1 Oct 13 13:08 /dev/hda1 brw-rw---- 1 0 0 8, 1 Oct 13 13:08 /dev/sda1
The only differences are the h vs. s and the major number
Thanks for your help, Myles
