| From: Giles Orr <gilesorr@gmail.com> Thanks! | But attempting to run mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ fails with mount: mounting | /dev/sda1 on /mnt/ failed: Invalid argument, although we do now have a | /dev/sda1 device in the /dev/ folder and /mnt/ is a valid folder. The diagnostics from mount(8) and mount(2) certainly can leave you in the dark. I've been stuck at various times, cursing mount. | I'm willing to try anything by this point, so I installed: | | kmod-nls-iso8859-1 | kmod-nls-cp437 | | Test again, and ... I can mount USB storage devices! Wow. I wonder how you could have figured this out (except via folklore). Since it is a kernel module that is missing the nls-* modules, the only ways of reporting the problem are: EWHATEVER return code (rather non-specific) or logging (would have to be rate-limited). I guess neither of these were used. Can you fix the web page that gave you the first hints to include the lore about nls-*?
