Title: Can't mount /dev/sda1
Post by: Holmes.Sherlock on May 20, 2012, 11:52:51 PM

Hi,

What I have done is as follows:

• Partitioned /dev/sda to only onle partition, i.e. /dev/sda1 using fdisk
• Set the filesystem type to Linux
• Created the /mnt/sda1 directory
• Tried to mount is using "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1"

The error produced is: "Mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 failed: Invalid argument"

Please help.

First you have to make a filesystem.
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
