[Solved] Can't mount ext4 partition from usb drives.

No matter which method I try from following:

1. Partitioning by fdisk and then formatted by mkfs,
2. Partition by the program named 'Disks' in Gnome or GParted

and then,

trying to mount via commandline or from Nautilus,

It is not mounting.

The error is:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Post the exact command you're using. Post the output of 'lsblk -f', 'dmesg' and 'mount -t ext4'.

You might also want to try "dmesg | tail" as directed (right after a failed mount attempt), and post the results here.

Re: [Solved] Can't mount ext4 partition from usb drives.

Did you get a kernel update recently (during a "pacman -Syu")? Did you reboot after the kernel update?

It seems to solved automagically after an update
