hi all,
i have trouble mounting my win95 disk under redhat4.2 (kernel 2.0.3) and
was wondering if anyone can give me some hints as to why it's not work: i
get the error:

waldstein# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win95/
/proc mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
or too many mounted file systems

the weird thing is that my zip drive mounts fine with
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/zip

thanks a lot,

fei

Is your Win95 disk FAT32, and if so, do you have FAT32 support installed?
See:

http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat32.html

to get the appropriate patch for your kernel. It's possible Linux doesn't
understand your partition types (I should think this patch would resolve that
type of problem).
