    What is the filesystem of the image you used dd with? I think you have
    to specify the filesystem type with mount if its not ext2 or ext3

    Subject: Mouting USB Flash Drive with RH 7.1

    Hi All,

    I have a USB flash drive which I was able to successfully mount under RH

    7.1. Then I did a 'dd' command to copy a boot image file to the flash
    drive. Now, I can't mount the flash drive.

    If I try to mount the device I get the following message:
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too
    many
    mounted file systems.

    This is the output of cat /proc/scsi/scsi
    Attached devices:
    Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
      Vendor: SanDisk Model: Cruzer Mini Rev: 0.1
      Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

    If I do a 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' it shows the the drive has one partition
    called /dev/sda1 wich is of type FAT16.

    The line in my /etc/fstab file looks like the following
    /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkeychain vfat
    user,noauto,umask=0 0 0

    When I do a lsmod, I see that the usb-storage module is currently
    loaded.
    So is usb-uhci and usbcore.

    If I do a fdisk /dev/sda it just hangs.

    Two questions:
    1) What do I have to do to be able to mount my flash drive again?
    2) Why did my 'dd' command break it? How else can I copy an image file
    to
    the flash drive?

    Thanks!
    GJ
