Hi everybody,

I'm trying to change the hdd filesystem on my usb drive to bypass fat32 limitations. I had no problem to create partitions with fdisk and format them with mke2fs. Nevertheless I receive following error when I try to mount a partition:

$ mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /tmp/harddisk/
mount: Mounting /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /tmp/harddisk failed: Invalid argument

does someone knows where this problem comes from? I think there's no problem using ext2 for ftp or even samba server, am I right?

Thanks for your answers.

ext2 is not supported, ext3 is supported.


mke2fs -j /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

OK, it works fine with ext3. Thanks for the tip Oleg.
