Cannot mount one usb disc, although other mounts automatically after 12.10 upgrade
- by Allen Williams
Since upgrading to 12.10, switching on or attempting to mount one of my usb hard drives gives this error message:
Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdg1: Command-line `mount
"/mnt/usb-ST350041_8AS_60CAFFFFFFFF-0:0-part1"' exited with non-zero exit
status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
dmesg | tail gives (inter alia):
[ 1080.727830] sdg: sdg1
[ 1080.732003] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI disk
[ 1081.383633] FAT-fs (sdg1): Unrecognized mount option "x-gvfs-show" or
missing value
[ 1871.160973] sdg: sdg1
The drive cannot be mounted, but is recognized by the system as a "place". I am not a technical bod; I cannot take this further myself and any help would be much appreciated.
