Re: [CentOS] Can't mount FAT32 partition

I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS. I'm following the instructions on this page: http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php

This is the line I put into /etc/fstab /dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0

And this is the error I get: [root@localhost mnt]# mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too many mounted file systems

What is the cause of this error?

It doesn't appear that owner is a valid option for fat filesystems. Try removing that option and see if that fixes your problem.
