[wplug] unable to mount disk

My guess would be that the issue is the raw device. Did the old / other
system have some definition of "hdf" as anything other than a raw device (as
opposed to a partition)? Given that you're using "complete" syntaxt I do
not believe that it matters what's in /etc/fstab - but if there's bogus data
in /etc/mtab that could be an issue.
Does the mount point exist? (try another "known good" mount point like
/mnt/floppy)
Just for grins - have you tried mounting it without the "type" option? (is
it possibly ext2?)
Have you tried mounting the first partition of the device instead of the raw
device?
You're sure of this device on the bus / bus position? (it's still hdf?)

Subject: [wplug] unable to mount disk
ok this is kind of odd. i upgraded my home machine (to redhat 9), and when
i tried to mount a disk that i was able to mount under redhat 7.3 i get the
following error:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdf /mnt/fs/set1/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdf,
or too many mounted file systems
yes that is 'hdf' and no partition number. does anyone have any idea on
what this means? i have it backed up to a few hundred cdrw's but i would
rather not spend the week feeding them into my machine.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
the holy name of liberty and democracy?
