I bought a new terabyte hdd that i am using externally through a dock. I used terminal to find my disk info so here it is.
*-disk
description: SCSI Disk
physical id: 0.0.0
bus info: scsi@5:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/sdb
size: 931GiB (1TB)
capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos
configuration: signature=00074ddf
I have added the following line to the fstab file
/dev/sdb /media/storage vfat user,umask=0000 0 0
and i created a folder in media to mount to called storage. I ran the following in terminal to try and mount it and got this error.
joel-desktop@joel-desktop-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
i appreciate anyones input on how to fix this. I would love to able use my new harddrive.
