I recently formatted a couple of my partitions with JFS. Now, the problem is, they don't get mounted by default on boot-up even though they are in /etc/fstab.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/data jfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/stuff jfs defaults 0 0 I formatted it using mkfs.jfs. The version of jfsutils installed on my system is: jfsutils/testing uptodate 1.1.11-1 Also, from my kernel config file, CONFIG_JFS_FS=m CONFIG_JFS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_JFS_SECURITY=y # CONFIG_JFS_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_JFS_STATISTICS is not set Now, whenever I try to mount I get the error: debian:~# mount -t jfs /dev/hda2 /mnt/stuff mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so debian:~# dmesg | tail agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 0x mode agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 0x mode FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hda1. NET: Registered protocol family 10 lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver eth0: no IPv6 routers present FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hda2. Also, after a while, I tried mounting /dev/hda1 in the exact same way, and it mounted!! But after retrying, I haven't been able to mount /dev/hda2 Output of jfs_fsck debian:~# jfs_fsck /dev/hda2 jfs_fsck version 1.1.11, 05-Jun-2006 processing started: 11/23/2006 12.38.30 Using default parameter: -p The current device is: /dev/hda2 Block size in bytes: 4096 Filesystem size in blocks: 2560359 **Phase 0 - Replay Journal Log Filesystem is clean.
