    Question Hard-drive mounting problems

    Hi!
    Installation of SUSE 10.2 x486 went well. Before the installation I had SUSE 10.1. I made a fresh installation on my hard-drive sdb. In SUSE 10.1 I used sda (sda3) as a backup hard-drive. Now in SUSE 10.2 when I try to mount sda3 as /local through YAST the response is as follows:
    Failure occured during following action:
    Mounting /dev/sda3 to /local

    System error code was: -3003

    mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda3 /local
    mount -t unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs'

    Any suggestions? I have all my photos on that partition.

    fdisk -l:
    Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 1 262 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
    /dev/sda2 * 263 2873 20972857+ 83 Linux
    /dev/sda3 2874 48641 367631460 83 Linux

    Disk /dev/sdb: 203.9 GB, 203928109056 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24792 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    fstab

    fstab looks like this:
    /dev/sdb1 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
    /dev/sdb2 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
    /dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
    debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
    usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
    devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0

    sda2 and 3 are not mounted or am I wrong?
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    /P

    Hi pepperagge,

    Welcome to the LinuxForums.

    are you sda2 and sda3 have 'reiserfs' filesystem?
    try 'ext3'.
    Code:
    mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /local
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Hi devils_casper!
    Thanks for your fast reply. After executing your code the reply is as follows:
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
    missing codepage or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so
