Hi, |

Here's a strange one... |
4 |
|
5 |
I use 2 partitions for Windows 98, hda1 and hda5. I set both up as type |
6 |
"c" (fat32 LBA) during my gentoo installation, using fdisk. The entries |
7 |
in /etc/fstab are almost identical: |
8 |
|
9 |
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat umask=0,noexec 0 0 |
10 |
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat umask=0,noexec 0 0 |
11 |
|
12 |
Yet hda1 mounts with no problems, whereas hda5 doesn't. If I execute |
13 |
"mount /mnt/win_d" I get the error: |
14 |
|
15 |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5, |
16 |
or too many mounted file systems |
17 |
|
18 |
I tried various combinations (such as "mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 |
19 |
/mnt/win_d") and always get the same error. The only differences between |
20 |
the 2 partitions that I can think of are: |
21 |
|
22 |
(a) hda1 is primary whereas hda5 is logical |
23 |
(b) hda5 is larger than hda1 (20 Gb and 15 Gb, respectively) |
24 |
(c) hda1 is set as the boot partition in fdisk. |
25 |
|
26 |
If I type the above error in Google I get many hits, but nothing helped. |
27 |
Any ideas? |

Thanks. |
