Hello, I tried to set up my new external hard drive (Samsung 160 GB, FDB 3.5" SP1604N) using debian testing/unstable, Kernel 2.4.22-xfs.
I used fdisk to partition the hard drive into 3 approx. 50 GB partitions - worked fine. Then I added in /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 vfat noauto,users,exec 0 0 and did for each mkdir /mnt/sda1 2 and 3 respectively but when I do: mount /dev/sda1 I get mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, or too many mounted file systems for sda2 I get that the filesystem can not be recognised. after I rebooted I tried to run fdisk /dev/sda or sda1 but I receive an error: Unable to open /dev/sda3 any idea how to solve that?
