[clue-tech] mount second hard drive

[Bob Meetin]

That's what I figured, anyhow here is more output:

# mount /dev/hdb5 /tmp2
/dev/hdb5: Invalid argument
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

# mount -t ext /dev/hdb5 /tmp2
mount: fs type ext not supported by kernel

# mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb5 /tmp2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

# mount /dev/hdb4 /tmp2
/dev/hdb4: Invalid argument
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

# mount /dev/hdb6 /tmp2
/dev/hdb6: Invalid argument
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb5 /tmp2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
