Re: mkisofs on usb hard drive key



On 17 Jul 2006 13:15:35 -0700, heavytull staggered into the Black Sun
and said:
root@headmuz:/mnt/cdrom/kernels# fdisk /dev/sdc
[ heavytull creates 1 partition ]
Changed system type of partition 1 to b (W95 FAT32)

# mkdosfs -I -F32 -n slack -v /dev/sdc
# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/pen_drive/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

You created one partition, then mkdosfs'ed the *entire disk*. You
probably wanted to mkdosfs -F32 /dev/sdc1 .

ps: I tried both b and c hex codes for the partition type with fdisk,
The result is the same.

Yep, because the error is in a different place. 0x0b is the right type
for a 2G filesystem, IIRC. HTH,
