I am trying to access my FAT32 USB drive.  There is an error when I try accessing it.  I just want to access it read-only.  The error I get is:  Error mounting /dev/sde at /media/mink/34D2-84FB: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sde" "/media/mink/34D2-84FB"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'   What commands should I use to access this drive?

When trying to mount an exfat filesystem, I get the following error:  Error mounting /dev/sda6 at /media/gkp/Backup: Command-line  `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sda6" "/media/gkp/Backup"'  exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'   Exfat is used on some USB sticks and camera sd cards. What can I do to mount this type of filesystem?

I have a desktop computer with Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.4 LTS 64-bit with an attached HDD USB 3.0 4TB Intenso 1 partition ext4 data drive only (no OS or Apps). After a sudden power failure, I am unable to mount the drive (checked different host Linux machines with no result).  error message:  sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1,        missing codepage or helper program, or other error        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try        dmesg | tail  or so   Tried with fsck, e2fsck with no result. The error message says "Get a newer version of e2fsck".  Tried with all available superblocks backups with no result.  Tried offline file/drive Linux checkers on the offline and UNmounted volume with no result.  Finally, I received the following error message for which I couldn't find any help online:   "has unsupported feature(s): metadata_csum". e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) /dev/sdd1 has unsupported feature(s): metadata_csum e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!   Can anyone help me take my data back?

I am trying to format an external hard disk to FAT32 (I need it to work with some hardware that expects it to be in FAT32). When I am trying to format it via Windows the only option get is to format it to NTFS.  When I am trying to format one of my own partitions (on the hard disk that is running the OS) I can do it only in NTFS while another partition my OS can format in both NTFS and FAT32.  What can cause such a behavior and how can I format the external hard disk to FAT32?

I have an NTFS formatted USB Hard drive that has my personal files backup. Today I mounted the drive to an Oracle Linux system and copied a regular file using the below command (please see below commands). By mistake I used the device file /dev/sdb1 during copy.  mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /sample cp file1 /dev/sdb1   After this I unmounted the drive and connected to Windows system. Now Windows system complains that the drive need to be formatted and/or corrupted.  My question is: can we recover this drive without losing any personal data? How can I view the files available on this drive? Just mounting back to Linux system will show the files?

I have a Clonezilla installation on a USB stick and I'd like to make some modifications to the operating system. Specifically, I'd like to insert a runnable script into /usr/sbin to make it easy to run my own backup command to make backups less painful.   The main filesystem lives under /live/filesystem.squashfs on the USB FAT-32 partition.   How can I mount this read/write on my Linux machine in order to be able to add/remove/change files? I'm running an Ubuntu 12.04 derivative.

I'm running a drive check on my unmounted USB3 drive with:  sudo fsck.ext4 -cDfty -C 0 /dev/sda1 &amp;   However, I sent it to the background and would like to check its progress. It's been running on a 4 TB drive for 35 hours already.  Is there a way to check its progress?

I am trying to understand the NOEXEC flag when mounting.  I am having an execution issue within the /tmp directory on someone elses machine that I cannot access atm where the /tmp directory is mounted onto a different drive than '/' and NOEXEC is present.  I wanted to try and recreate this scenario on my machine, but I do not have a second hard drive.  I tried doing the following command:  mount --bind /test1 /test2   I then removed the bind flag and added NOEXEC in /etc/fstab.  Then, I created a file in /test2 called test.sh where it just echos 'hello world'.  I try and run it and it said 'permission denied'.  I then ran chmod 777 test.sh and was able to execute the file just fine.  I thought that the NOEXEC flag should not allow me to execute anything?  Is mount --bind /test1 /test2 not the same as mounting from a completely different physical drive? As in /test1 and /test2 are on different drives?

MY NTFS Partition has gotten corrupt somehow (it's a relic from the days when I had Windows installed).     I'm putting the debug output of fdisk and blkid .  At the same time, any OS is unable to mount my root partition, which is located next to my NTFS partition. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, though. I get the following error while trying to mount my root partition (sda5)  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5,        missing codepage or helper program, or other error        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try        dmesg | tail  or so  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | tail [ 1019.726530] Descriptor sense data with sense descriptors (in hex): [ 1019.726533]         72 03 11 04 00 00 00 0c 00 0a 80 00 00 00 00 00  [ 1019.726551]         1a 3e ed 92  [ 1019.726558] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda]  Add.

My attempt to run fsck results in the following :  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sda fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks... fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda  The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:     e2fsck -b 8193 &lt;device&gt;   Update: I was able to fix the NTFS partition running chkdsk off Hiren's BootCD, but it seems that the superblock problem still remains.  Update 2: Fixed superblock issue using e2fsck -c /dev/sda5

I made an image of my entire disk with  dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/external_media/sda.img   Now the problem is I'd like to mount an ext4 filesystem that was on that disk but  mount -t ext4 -o loop /media/external_media/sda.img /media/sda_image   obviously gives a superblock error since the image contains the whole disk (MBR, other partitions) not just the partition I need. So I guess I should find a way to make the disk image show up in the /dev/ folder...  Does anyone know how to do that?  PS: I can always dd back the image to the original disk, but that would be very inconvenient (I updated the OS and I'd like to keep it as it is)

If I put a USB-drive in, it will automount. I can see it with lsblk  NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdb      8:16   1   7,5G  0 disk  └─sdb1   8:17   1   7,5G  0 part /media/user/usb-drive   If I unmount it with umount  umount /media/user/sdb1   it will still be visible with lsblk, but not mounted any more:  NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdb      8:16   1   7,5G  0 disk  └─sdb1   8:17   1   7,5G  0 part   but if I instead eject it by clicking the eject icon in Thunar (xfce file manager), it will disappear from the list in lsblk. Why is that so?

I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 along with Windows 8.1. When I tried to open the C: drive in Ubuntu a window is popping out saying to run this command:  mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda2 /media/2A36EE3236EDFEA7   After running the command I'm getting the error mount: only root can do that.   What should I do?

About two weeks ago I had a problem with my PC that my brother wrote a question about at .  I still haven't solved the problem, so my PC is unusable now.  Now I think that it would be simpler to re-install both Win7 &amp; Ubuntu than repair them, but there're some data on their partitions. I want to recover this data.  These partitions are not mountable for some reason. I don't know why.  sudo fdisk -l about the problematic partitions:     Device    Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System /dev/sda1            2048     147912703    73955328   83 Linux /dev/sdb2            206848   174079999    86936576    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT   And in GParted:      And the error of the mount command:  Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?   And the exact same message for /dev/sda1  How can I recover my data from those HDDs?

I am trying to mount my ext4 (sdc6) partition from a live usb because that's how I deleted two unused partitions left from a prior install of ubuntu, using GParted. The swap is mounted. However, I can't edit fstab, or find anywhere to click in nautilus to mount sdc6. In the terminal, I get the error: "can't find /dev/sdc6 in fstab". I'm afraid to exit the usb and update grub if that partition isn't mounted. Is there any easy way to do this, or do I have to install gksu or some other editor? Or do I need to mount it as sda6?

I'm very new to this and I've been at trying to fix this problem for about two hours to no avail.  I just finished getting my new computer put together and installed a new 2TB Seagate hard drive as a secondary drive (my boot drive has no problems at all). I have it formatted into two petitions, one in ext4 through GParted. I want to use this partition to store extra files and programs (specifically games and CAD stuff). I went to make a steam library folder in it and found that it's read only. It is at /dev/sda1  I first attempted to reformat it to no avail. I looked around for some help (most of what I found related to external storage) and tried a few things through the terminal to change the owner.  mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/   Returned "only root can do that."  I'm stuck past here, I've tried a couple other things I can't hunt down now, but every attempt gives an access problem to me. How can I change this and regain access? Are there more effective ways to map/install this drive for this purpose to avoid this problem in the future? Thank you!

What USB drive filesystem works out of the box on Windows, Linux, and OS X so that, when I give a 64GB USB drive to my dad, I don't have to tell him to first type in sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils ntfs-3g in the terminal, for example?
