Hey Guys,

I'm trying to mount my other Linux distro's filesystem in AntiX.

When I try it, I get an error message.

I ran"dmesg | tail" and got the following...

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail
[    8.642834] Adding 1830908k swap on /dev/sda6.  Priority:1 extents:1 across:1830908k

[   15.382851] IT8718 SuperIO detected.
[  577.059662] JFS: nTxBlock = 8192, nTxLock = 65536
Any idea what the problem might be and how to fix it? (I'm fairly computer illiterate, but I don't like the looks of that last line!)

As you say 'other' linux distro, I am guessing that would be sda5.
Is it in your fstab file? If not you will need to add it to have it automounted at boot up.
See if you can manually mount it

Code: Select all

 sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt

linktext was:"This thread"
====================================
was about a similar problem. The solution was to run fsck on the partition you are having trouble with.

Fatmac; No, actually it's SDA1 I'm trying to mount; and I was trying to mount it manually, as I can't get into it because I don't have the /boot/grub/menu.lst set up to recognize it yet (but I'm trying)

Bitjam, I will take a look at that thread.

Thanks for the assistance, guys!

Ding-ding-ding ding-ding!

Running fsck did it! The file file system is now mount!

That was fast!

Thanks again!
