Linux Command | Jan. 15, 2010

Suppose Mr. Raju is trying to mount a hard drive partion in Fedora or Red Hat linux, by giving a simple command

But every time he gets error that OS is unable to mount the file system, which belongs to a Windows system. User may force mount the drive. The drive is of Capacity 50GB!
So, what command should he use to force mount it!

 

Why now?

 

Is this?

mount -t xxx /dev/sda1 /mnt -o force

 

Your command is incomplete!

 

Oh!! Ya, typo mistake !!

This should be fine now!!

mount -t xxx /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -o force

 

This is incorrect too!
you should mention file system! see the question and you'll get the exact file system's clue!
:crazy:

 

> sudo mount -t xxx /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -o force

 

> sudo mount -t xxx /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows -o force

 

Hey Mridula!
in place of guessing, focus on the command u r writing!
Think, which portion is for mentioning the File System of the disk!
Then make the necessary change and post!
Now, your every command's syntax is correct!

 

Its too simple!!
:sifone:

The file system must be ntfs as the disk size is too lager than FAT system's maximum capacity!

 

Congrats Techgeek! You're correct!
