View Full Version : Mounting New 400 GB USB 2.0 Drive

I formatted with ext 3 but can't for the life of me figure out how to mount it. It shows up in my hardware browser as sdc 1 but when I try to mount, I get a different error every time. I had no problems mounting a 250 GB NTFS USB 2.0 drive though.
If possible, I'd like to add this new drive to my LVM pool. The drive doesn't show up in usermount. Any suggestions?

What is your mount command? something like ' mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 ( note /mnt/sdc1 is an example to mount to, yours may be different. )
What is the output of ' /sbin/fdisk -l '?
Are you using kudzu?
What is the contents of your /etc/fstab?
Never used LVM before I guess it would work as long as USB is active before mounting drives.

/sbin/fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sdc: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table
/etc/fstab:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t ,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t ,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/LACIE ntfs pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t ,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
So I assume it's the invalid partition table that's causing the problem but I already formatted and partitioned?
