Did you try 'dmesg | tail' like it suggested? Usually if you can't mount a filesystem it's because it got corrupted somehow, in this case it might be a "bad superblock" like it says. dmesg will provide info on exactly why the mount is failing. If you haven't done so, try using '-t auto' or not using -t at all. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d-(--) s:- a--->?
