Need Help With An Error Message For Ubuntu 13.10

error occured while mounting /media/sdb1.
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

this comes up every time i boot.

and after cat/etc/fstab this comes up:

/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 vfat uid=users,users 0 0
/dev/sdb2 /media/sdb2 hfsplus defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext4 defaults 0 0

remnants from usb sticks and an external HD that are no connected.

tried to remove the mountpoints with sudo rmdir /media/sdb1, but no help.
I am newbie and I mean NEWbie. Can someone head me in the right direction?

When I try to open my filesystem I get the following error message:

Unable to mount 496GB filesystem error mounting:mount:wrong fs type, bad option,bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. What does all this mean? Everything had worked so far until now. I'm using Debian V 7.8.0

Thanks for any help I can get

I was copying the contents of a flash drive to a folder. In the middle of it I got an error message:

'Error splicing file: input/output error'

and then it said 'do you want to skip or retry?' And the "all" button was there too. Anyway, I skipped. When I checked the folder, all my data seemed to be there.

Do you think it was?

I mean, what are the implications of the error message and of my "skipping" it?

Next up, when I looked at the contents of my flash drive all the folders and files have a lock icon on them. I can open the files but I can't edit them. And no, the lock switch on my flash drive is not pressed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Dear All,

I am using OLE 6.2, 32 bit. Today I was trying to open the other drives (windows C drive and external drive both are ntfs), when I tried to open it, I go the following error

Error mounting: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

Please advise how can I fix it, I did a google search but since I am new I am unable to understand what I should really do. Sept by Sept advise would be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks,
I am a relative newbie to linux.
I am running Fedora 21 from an external USB Hard Drive and get the following message after Grub has loaded. Any help in resolving this is very much appreciated.

: [sdb] No Caching mode page found

Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view

I have a dual boot laptop with debian stable & Windows 7.

The HD partitions a
sda1: NTFS for W7
sda2: FAT32 (currently unused)
sda3: linux /boot
sda4: linux ext4, which is LVM with encryption

I've re-installed W7 and now need to recover the MBR & grub menu.

I've booted with the netinst usb in rescue mode, but it fails to mount the root partition /sda4:
"An error occured while mounting the device you entered for your root file system (/dev/sda4) on /target"

and /var/syslog shows:
Code:

rescue-mode: selected root device '/dev/sda4'
umount: cant umount /target: Invalid argument
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sda4, iso_blknum=16, block=32
EXT2-fs (sda4): error: unable to readsuperblock
EXT3-fs (sda4): error: unable to readsuperblock
rescue: mount: mounting /dev/sda4 on /target failed: Invalid argument

So it seems like something is wrong with the mount command?

Would appreciate suggestions how to solve this.

Thanks

When I insert a blank DVD-R or CD-R I get an error message stating "location already mounted" and I cannot burn anything on the disk. Drives will read disks with content already burned onto disks. I've been researching this for some time now and haven't been able to find a solution but there appears to many more out there experiencing the same problem. I am using Mint 17 32 bit. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am having issues connecting to my linux box (opensuse 11.3) from my Window 7 sytem. I am using FileZilla. When I attempt to connect I get this error message

Status: Connecting to 192.168.198.205...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "Mike@192.168.198.205" 22
Command: Trust new Hostkey: Once
Command: Pass: *********
Error: Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server

I am thinking it is a setup on issue on my Linux box but not sure what to change at this point. I must have some settings correct, because I am able to remote into my Linux box using FreeNX. Any help would be appreciated
