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 at 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? For reference, this is the output of fsisk: [root at localhost mnt]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30020272128 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3649 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 3649 29310561 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Disk /dev/hdb: 30.7 GB, 30738677760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3737 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 3644 29270398+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 3645 3737 747022+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) Dave
