read only ?

<< < (2/4) > >>

gevaerts:
This ipod that lives on the forums
Gave its owner a lot of problems
No writing afoot
Not even by root
Fsck will teach it some lessons

pondlife:
There once was a read-only DAP,
Whose user got into a flap,
And though philanthropic,
The rhymes, so off-topic,
Did nothing to help the poor chap.

AlexP:
My effort:

The topic that we are discussin'
To do with the subject has nothin'
So let's not be fools,
And follow the rules,
Lest we cause mods to start fussin'

*I'm not chastising anyone here, I just had a 'good' rhyme to use :)

pathe:
It's still read-only.

# fsck.vfat -a /dev/sda
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Root directory has zero size.
--- End code ---
Then :
--- Code: ---# fsck.vfat -n /dev/sda1
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 123.

Any idea ? :(

GodEater:
Firstly, don't run fsck.vfat on /dev/sda - that's not a partition, it's the entire disk.

Secondly, don't run it on /dev/sda1 either, that's the firmware partition, and does not contain a filesystem.

Finally, the error messages you get from the check and repair attempt on /dev/sda2 do indeed suggest there's something wrong with with filesystem there. Could you post the results of running fsck.vfat on it a subsequent time ?
