input/output error | mounting usb stick
i want to mount a usb stick; according to my disklabel /dev/sd1i the FS is "ext2fs", but after mount -t ext2fs dev/sd1i /mnt/key/ Im receiving
an "input/output error". unfortunately, i cant find relating issues on the web. All my sources said, it should work after these steps. I would be very grateful for some advice. Thx :3 |

Thanks for the welcome greeting :3 & yes, that was a typo.
Ehm, i thought "ext2fs" is the FAT FS - i honestly dont know, how i come up with this idea^^ Anyway, according to some OpenBSD forum threads mount_msdos should support all FAT filesystems. But mount -t msdos /dev/sd1i /mnt/key results in an inappropriate file type or format error. Code:
If your filesystem is ext4, or reiserfs, or any other Linux file system, OpenBSD cannot mount it. Maybe I could loop the USB Stick through OpenBSD to a Linux VM? Anyway thanks for your explanations. |

OpenBSD can mount ext4 hard drives. Read-only though.

Nope. FAT is a Microsoft filesystem. Your filesytem, still unidentified, is a Linux filesystem.

We still haven't seen the fdisk(8) and disklabel(8) output of your USB stick

Hello,
firstly, sry that i did not respond, had to prepare some important exams.. secondly, the problem got solved, because i formatted the USB Stick to FAT32. It turned out, that i had used this stick to boot a linux distro few months ago. Unfortunately the very bad ntfs support (Win7 & newer) forced me to change back again to linux. :/ warm regards :3 |

Did you try sysutils/ntfs-3g?
|
|

According to a thread i've read here some days ago, the *BSD ntfs implementation only supports windows xp & older ntfs. Even if i could make use of this, the read/write support is still poor, so its recommend to use read only. But unfortunately i use a Win7 ntfs & need write support.
After Christmas, i will try to change the FS on my HDD, so i will see. Thanks anyway :3 |

NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for Linux, Android, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, QNX, Haiku, and other operating systems. It provides safe handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 NTFS file systems. So if this is no good for you then the only thing good for you is Windows. |
