Can't read vfat partitions
by Philip S Tellis 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

I have one ext2 partition, two fat32 partitions and one fat16 partition. I can mount the ext2 and fat16 partitions, but am unable to mount the vfat (fat32) partitions. When I try to mount them, the hard disk makes a humming sound, and I get these errors: hda: timeout waiting for DMA hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } hda: DMA disabled ide0: reset: success hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1 FAT bread failed mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems This happens everytime. I tried disabling dma and then mounting, and I get these errors: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1 FAT bread failed mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems I am unable to boot into the fat32 partitions either. I have not used Windows for several months now, so don't think that this is a windows related problem, and I was able to mount the partitions last night, but not since this afternoon. Shutdown was uneventful the last time I used the fat32 partitions. I have all my documentation stored on those partitions and refer to them frequently. Any ideas as to what has happened and how I may be able to fix it? Philip

Hi, I have been here for a little time and this place is great- low on traffic and high on info. Thanks to all you people who keep up the good work of answering querries. You people know who you are. Keep up the good work. Finally, I would like to point out that the ilug website is really low on content. We must give it a face lift. Can we have debates on this?

We can make it more organized and rich with good links. By >keeping >only pointers in organized way, we will be able to build >resource >repository faster and with less effort. *snip* That's a good thought Dharmesh, but I would stick with the content paradigm for a plethora of reasons. First, because first-hand experiences with software and various tools that many ilugers have are invaluable. Secondly, sharing experiences and content will not only hon up your communication skills-but it will also evoke responses from people all over the world. Thirdly because India is a different country. For example, a small company in the US may even have 500 employees. In India that would be a medium-sized company. GNU/Linux is good for SMEs who want to save on their IT investments. Hell, in India small-companies are like 15-80 employees, perhaps even lesser. What is true off-shore won't be true here. One must realise that everything has a local twist. And most importantly you'd want to do this because, you would want to popularise GNU/Linux among Indian people - students especially. For this they must be able to relate to and maybe even meet the contributors. That's the whole issue of having a community isn't it? In contrast to your less-effort point, this will certainly require a lot more efforts-perhaps much more than we ever imagined. But the returns will be more promising. See if you agree with this Dharmesh. Content is an empty word-it's knowledge and wisdom that you share :). I wonder what the others feel about this. Regards, Amol Hatwar. -------------------------------------------------------- To be able to give shape to anything, you must be open at both the ends. - AH _________________________________________________________ There is always a better job for you at Monsterindia.com.

Interested in exploring J2EE without leaving GPL ethics
by Dharmesh Maniar 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

I was always wanted to learn and work on J2EE framework since i saw it's market potential :). But only thing preventing me was the commercial Application Servers like WebLogic and WebSpheer which are not free. Good news!! I recently came to know about the alternatives to these commercial servers in Open Source community too. As following report says, they are really powerful. Go through http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=6461 and make ur hand dirty with JBOSS(which seems the best) App Server if u r really interested in J2EE. Find ur customer and deploy their web application on such free s/w ;). This can be the best way to penetrate Open Source s/w among real users. Regs, -Dharmesh

If that doesn't make the answer obvious-it's a YES! But again, many web-mail services don't allow you to do this. For starters, if you use Outlook you can try configuring a new accout with your name as Santa Claus and the e-mail address as santa(a)northpole.com... just give the login information for your POP3 server right. Needless to say the procedure depends on which e-mail client you are using.

You have missed the point entirely. Free is not the free that trick marketeers push down your throat. THE free refers to free as in freedom, not free as in cost. Free is freedom to modify. Though most of the licenses in the free world are GPLish, there are subtle differences. You must choose one that you can enforce legally ;) And yes, you can charge for your efforts. But you have to make the source available (atleast on request).
