/home can't be mounted (unknown filesystem type 'jmicron_raid_member')
Hello,
I already asked this question this morning on ubuntuforums.org in
"General Help" but got no answer yet. Sorry for my impatience but
it's a severe problem for me: I can't work at my office PC! Now that
I'm at home I try it on this mailing list---at office I don't have
access to it at the moment. Here's my problem:
My home directory of my office PC is located on an external USB
disk, identified by its UUID. From /etc/fstab:
Everything worked fine for about six weeks. But today it just fails
and I don't have any glue what's going wrong. When I try to mount
/home I get the following:
$sudo mount /home
mount: special device
/dev/disk/by-uuid/5e6531ed-d85e-4300-b713-a61d9496a6e6 does not exist
But the UUID is correct:
$ tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1 | grep 5e
Filesystem UUID: 5e6531ed-d85e-4300-b713-a61d9496a6e6
So I try to mount the disk by its block device name:
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /home/
mount: unknown filesystem type 'jmicron_raid_member'
I never read this message before and the disk has an ext3 filesystem!
$ parted /dev/sdb print | grep -1 'File system'
Anzahl Beginn End Size Type File system Flags
1 32,3kB 25,0GB 25,0GB primär ext3
I already asked Google about it but didn't find anything. fsck.ext3
ends up without any errors or warnings:
/home can't be mounted (unknown filesystem type 'jmicron_raid_member')
