    HD partition will not auto mount (solved)

    Just upgraded to hardy. My external usb drive has 2 partitions. one mounts fine the other gives the following error:

    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
    missing codepage or helper program, or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so

    dmesg | tail gives:

    [ 87.433759] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -89710881 ns)
    [ 88.555607] NET: Registered protocol family 17

    [ 392.724158] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.

    How ever if I do
    sudo mkdir /media/disk-1
    then
    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 disk-1
    all is good. the problem is that it is not persistent. I have to do this after any reboot. Not liking it. gutsy mounted these drives fine.
    I tried Enlightenment once, it was pretty cool.

    Have you tried to set it up in Disk & Filesystems?
    (K > System Settings, Advanced tab at top, Disk & Filesystems, Administrator Mode, right-click on the partition and Modify)

      Have you tried to set it up in Disk & Filesystems?
      disk & filesystems does not exist in my system settings dialog. I did try backing up everything on the partition and reformatting to ext3, but now I get this message:
      [20456.976127] cdrom: sr0: mrw address space DMA selected

      why is it trying to mount it as cdrom?

      Just checked the /etc/fstab and found interesting entries:

      #/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
      #/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
      #/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
      /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
      I commented out the cdrom lines and now it works fine. Hope it works after reboot.
