Hello folks,
After getting fed up with Ubuntu's bloated setup, I was trying to switch to Arch linux. But before that I wanted to try it in Virtual Box. I was using Arch Linux Core image for this. But after setting up file system and mountpoint I am getting this error:
error mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt
The steps I followed:
1. Source: Core local
2. Editor: Nano
3. Clock: As usual
4. Prepare hard drive:
a) Manually Partition (as this is what I will be doing during actual installation)
b) /dev/sda
c) New partition on all space available on virtual machine, making it primary, bootable, Type: Linux Extended (option 85).
d) Write partition and Quit and Done
5. Manually configure block device, filesystems and mountpoints.
a) dev
b) Do not recreate file system.
c) Set ext4 format and mount point, ignoring swap space or seperate /boot partition.
d) Now when I goto next step as Done, It gives an error : Error mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/.
Is there any problem with creating the filesystem as I have done? Can anyone shed some light if there is any particular configuration needed for virtual machine. I searched the forum for other options. But none of them seem applicable for me.
Thank you for your time.
