bash error and fat32
Last night I was trying to figure out how to mount an read hda1, which
is fat32 using RH50. I created a directory /usr/win_c_drive to use as a
mount point. I tried the command:
mount -v -t vfat -o fat=32 /dev/hda1 /usr/win_c_drive
I got an error message (best of my memory) 'non existent or unsupported
file system'
I tried several different combinations:
mount -v -t vfat /dev/hda1 /usr/win_c_drive
mount -v -t msdos -o fat=32 /dev/hda1 /usr/win_c_drive
mount -v msdos /dev/hda1 /usr/win_c_drive
mount -v /dev/hda1 /usr/win_c_drive
but got the same error. Is fat32 supported under RH50, or am I just
doing something wrong?
PART 2
After closing everything down, and using the 'shutdown -h now' command,
I turned off the computer. Later I came back, logged in as root, and
got the following message:
bash: id: command not found
bash: id: command not found
bash: id: command not found
[:too many arguments
bash: id: command not found
bash: mesg: command not found
[root@localhost /root] #
when I typed 'startx', I got the following message:
bash: startx: command not found
Shutting down and rebooting the machine several times produced the same
result. When I did a 'ps -a ', there -bash was listed as a process. X
was working fine up to this point. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
