    Exclamation Mount

    Hello,

    I know I'm new I'll look forward to participating in this community, anway. I am having trouble mounting a disk. When I run fdisk -ls I get:

    Code:
    Disk /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQ: 250.0 GB, 250000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30394 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

                                                                               Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQp1             1         7     56196   de  Unknown
/dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQp2   *         8       269   2104515    c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQp3           270     30394 241979062+  83  Linux
/dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQp4         30395     30395       820   fb  VMFS
    I have tried the standered mount commands e.g.

    Code:
    mount -o rw '/dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQp3' /mnt/backup/
    and ls -l /dev/disks/ holds a diffrent story

    Code:
    -rw-------    1 root     root       250000000000 Jun 10 17:28 t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQ
-rw-------    1 root     root           57544704 Jun 10 17:28 t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQ:1
-rw-------    1 root     root         2155023360 Jun 10 17:28 t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQ:2
-rw-------    1 root     root       247786560000 Jun 10 17:28 t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQ:3
-rw-------    1 root     root             839680 Jun 10 17:28 t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQ:4
    Anyway when I try to mount I get the error

    Code:
    mount: mounting /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQp3 on /mnt/backup/ failed: No such file or directory
    though the direcotry exists.

    and

    Code:
    mount: mounting /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____ST3250620NS_________________________________________9QE757QQp3 on /mnt/backup failed: No such device
    Hope some one can help

    Thanks

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Post the output of the mount command (with no arguments) by itself. Also, what distribution and version of Linux are you running? These are not standard drive designators on current Linux systems. It should be /dev/sda.../dev/sdx where x is the last found drive.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
