VFAT mounting

rgt31 · 2006-10-12 03:18:01

I for some reason am having trouble mounting a fat32 storage partition. I am using a custom compiled kernel and am sure I have built in support for the filesystem. I have no problems mounting ntfs. Anyways, what I've tried is :
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat defaults,auto 0 0 in fstab, as well I've tried
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d. These have always worked for me in the past, just kind of at a loss as to why it's not working now.

Is there any error message?

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5

Info from .config :
# DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
#
CONFIG_FAT_FS=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=850
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-1"
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y

This is dmesg without anything in fstab:
FAT: codepage cp850 not found
Unable to load NLS charset cp850
FAT: codepage cp850 not found

sudo mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d brings up the same error I posted previously.

I believe I have the idea. Thanks for the help.
It appears that the default options for default code page was set to 850 when I should have that set to 437. I will also select iso8859-1 for the Default iocharset for FAT as well as select it under Native Language Support

It's official, the problem has been solved. Thanks again.
