Re: can't mount anything after e2fsprogs update

Do you get any errors if you try to mount manually on the command line? Are you mounting your NTFS drive with ntfs-3g? From your dmesg log I also see that the NTFS drive seems to have some errors, does it work fine in any other system?

Re: can't mount anything after e2fsprogs update

I can't mount it, it doesn't recognize filesystem on either ntfs nor fat32 flash, cant even mount cd/dvd's

ls /proc/fs
ext4  jbd2  nfsd

How can this be, is this a kernel bug or... I've made my custom kernel almost two weeks ago and I can't be sure 100% but I'm almost certain that I've inserted flash/dvd's after that and didn't have these kind of problems...

Re: can't mount anything after e2fsprogs update

I've just formated with gparted flash with ext4 and when I try mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb /data/flash it gives:

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

and in dmesg

[ 2009.367085] EXT4-fs (sdb): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem

dunno why, anyone have an idea?

Re: can't mount anything after e2fsprogs update

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/l … ed#1124312

It looks like a kernel bug, and it's still present in 2.6.31 kernel, I will wait untill 2.6.31.1 is out (right now its git10 should be released shortly)...

I just can't belive that I haven't inserted any dvd's nor flash drives for 12 days, so by mistake I thought it's a e2fsprogs fault...

Ok, it's not kernel either, I've upgraded gnome to 2.28 and now it reports "Can not mount LABEL, Not authorized"

Re: can't mount anything after e2fsprogs update

Can you post how exactly you solved it? I have the same problem and i don't use gnome, so it can't be that.
EDIT: nvm i'm an idiot. I was starting openbox with "exec openbox-session" instead of "exec ck-launch-session openbox-session" in my .xinitrc

I've edited /etc/pam.d/login and added ck-launch-session before gnome-session...

Re: can't mount anything after e2fsprogs update

You're not an idiot man , how could we know that, i'm testing xorg 7.5rc and I needed to boot to console, not through gdm so my problems started then - not when e2fsprogs updated...
