[SOLVED] Can't mount /home - wrong fs type, bad option...

Hey,

I had to reinstall my whole computer, because Windows was doing strange things again. First I installed Windows 7 and deleted all partitions with its partitioning programme. Now I'm at Arch. With cfdisk I created root, home and swap. My partitions look like this:

sda1   boot      primary   ntfs   [system reserved]   104,86
sda2             primary   ntfs                       209610,35
sda3             primary   ext4                       20003,89
sda5             logical   swap                       3002,23
sda6             logical   linux                      100002,96
                 logical   free space                 167382,56

The root partiton was mounted successfully. Therefore it was changed to ext4 already.

dmesg | tail

[ 2535.084324] sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6>

Thanks in advance!

PS: "bread failed" is funny btw!

Seems like you are trying to mount the extended partition (/dev/sda4). You probably want to mount /dev/sda6.

No I'm trying to mount /dev/sda6! dev/sda4 has the size of 1kb and seems to have been automatically generated.

It also says that /dev/sda6 is ro. But I didn't set it to ro...

Since I am trying to install Arch I don't have one yet...

did you format sda6 with mkfs? What command are you using to mount it exactly?

I made the fs with cfdisk and the command I am using is mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/home.

Oh well I overread the mkfs section in the tutorial...

cfdisk makes partitions, not filesystems. You need to format it.
