Yeah that's what I thought, very weird.... nas# dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=256 256+0 records in 256+0 records out
nas# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512 count=256 256+0 records in 256+0 records out As for trying a statically built version of mount, that's a bit out of my league.. I wouldn't know where/how to do that :( I'm only a semi-beginner with this stuff. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Steinkuehler Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2007 12:32 PM To: Adam Niedzwiedzki Cc: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [leaf-user] HighPoint RocketRAID 174x (need help in formating/mounting the RAID) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Adam Niedzwiedzki wrote: > Yup it all formats "as normal" no issues at all, > everything works fine, > fdisk /dev/sdb creating a partition setting it's type, saving/writing, then > mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 works as well, again no issues.. goes through and > formats without any hiccups... > > I just can't mount it once it's formatted... > > nas# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt > mount: Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: No such device > > no errors in messages or syslog etc.... Weird...if the device isn't working for some reason, it shouldn't format properly. One thing to try would be reading and writing to the device "raw", ie something like: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=256 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512 count=256 If those work, your RAID and kernel module are almost certainly working properly. > could it be a busybox thing... *shrug* Maybe...it wouldn't be the first odd issues with a busybox version of a command. Can you test with a statically compiled version of the full mount command? - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHV1EZLywbqEHdNFwRAmeHAJwIGDRZIX8IwzzgrvjyBIlC6OsswwCgjjPu 3tYgLApDsl7HEMHHycm6wso= =DRHH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
