[SOLVED ]FAT32 mount fails after recent upgrade

Hi there,

since a recent update, I can no longer mount my external 500GB drive which has one big FAT32 partition . pcmanfm says

The volume "BELUST_2" uses the <i>vfat</i> file system which is not supported by your system

So, as root, I tried:

# sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/BELUST_2/
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
# pacman -S dosfstools
warning: dosfstools-3.0.9-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
 ... ... blah blah ... ...
# sudo modprobe vfat
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers and thanks,
Daniel

yes, just reboot. kernel26 was updated to 2.6.33 but you never rebooted.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks, I just realized that myself. Silly me
