Hi,

Reinstalled debian, windos( I had to install this) :-)
on my machine after HDD corruption.

This time properly created the partitions, with 3 primary partitions.

debian:~# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2096 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       255   2048256    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2           256       766   4104607+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3           767       961   1566337+  a5  BSD/386
/dev/hda4           962      2096   9116887+   5  Extended
/dev/hda5           962      1326   2931831    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda6          1327      1691   2931831    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda7          1692      1946   2048256   83  Linux
/dev/hda8          1947      1962    128488+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda9          1963      2096   1076323+  83  Linux


Compiled kernel 2.4.5. Excellent news for es1371 users. Now es1371 has midi 
support in the kernel :-)

My problem starts now.

As u can see above I have got 3 win95 FAT32 partitions. Out of those three I can mount 
/dev/hda1 and /dev/hda5

debian:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2             3.9G  1.3G  2.4G  35% /
/dev/hda1             2.0G  666M  1.3G  33% /mnt/windows
/dev/hda5             2.8G  271M  2.5G   9% /mnt/ddrive
/dev/hdc              634M  634M     0 100% /cdrom
debian:~# 

But when I try to mount /dev/hda6 I get the following error :

debian:~# mount /mnt/funstuff/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6,
       or too many mounted file systems

Any ideas why is this error coming ? I have compiled support for vfat in the 
kernel. The remaining two fat32 partitions mount without problems as u can
see above.

My /etc/fstab entries are here :

/dev/hda1       /mnt/windows    vfat    defaults,errors=remount-ro      0       1
/dev/hda5       /mnt/ddrive     vfat    defaults,user,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda6       /mnt/funstuff   vfat    defaults,user,noauto,errors=remount-ro  0


I have created the partitions from debian CD which gives cfdisk for partitioning.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards
