Found a raw device for my card when reading through the /proc/partition list but got a "no device" message when mounting the card - mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /var/card though there is sda in the list.How to know if sda1 exists?

I have a vfat partition under RedHat RHEL5 that I currently must mount manualy after each boot. I would like it to auto-mount but I cannot find a way to do this without it becoming ro except for root. My other partitions auto-mount just fine. I have tried the vfat as a separate partition and as a VLM logical drive (as it currently is).
The fstab statement:
"/dev/VolGroup00/LogVolDos /dos vfat noauto,users 0 0"
allows me to mount it as a user. The statement:
"/dev/VolGroup00/LogVolDos /dos vfat defaults 1 2"
is what I use for other VLM partitions, but for the vfat it seems to only allow root access. Manually mount this partition is OK, it's just that I have sometimes forgotten and then it is not included in backups. What do I need to do to make the vfat auto-mount as accessible for a user?
I made a disk image of a vfat fat16 using:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=image_drive.img
I would like to mount it to /mnt/vfat using mount and loop. Is it possible to be mounted?
I have formatted a sd card ext3 for some test but I would like to to reformat to vfat. I have used linux to reformat using mkfs.vfat but still can't read it in windows. The next thing I was going to try was to dd from a good SD card but wanted to see

I haven't changed anything on the system as far as I'm aware, and I ran some HD diagnostics and everything seems fine. however when I try to mount the drive with the following command:
sudo mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt
I get the following error:

In some cases useful info is found in

I ran fdisk -l and it says the partition type is Linux. The output after running dmesg | tail :

I am running a Postgres server and after I did the whole installation I realized the Postgres data was set in /usr/pgsql/data. Sda1 is just 10 Gig so I decided to re-organize the partitions to be able to move /usr to say /dev/sda7 with a mount point as /usr. The / partition is on the only primary partition and the rest is on an extended partition. When I tried to resize the primary partition GParted did not give me that possibilty so I decided to move /usr
Original partitions:
sda1 / 10 G on primary partition this includes /usr /var and all others
sda5 swap 2 G on extended partition
sda6 /home 140 G on extended partition
So I did create another partition using Knoppix and Gparted the disk:here is the new picture:
sda1 / 10 G on primary partition this includes /usr /var and all others

I did rsync to copy all the file to /dev/sda7/usr and then mv /dev/sda7/usr* /dev/sda7. I stop the postgres database and services then I mv /dev/sda1/usr to dev/sda1/poufusr . When I rebooted it reports errors from kbd files on /etc File not found. It brings me to a terminal (No GUI) I did a check with :#mount: nothing is reported about sda7
What am I missing ?
I turned on my laptop today and noticed a load of unfamiliar startup text so I knew something was wrong. Now whenever I startup my laptop, GRUB loads fine but when I try to start Ubuntu it says the following:
Quote:
mount : mounting /dev on /root/dev failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /sys on /root/sys failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /proc on /root/proc failed : No such file or directory

so all I'm left with is this BusyBox command prompt. I'm on a live Ubuntu CD right now and if I try to mount /dev/sda1 either in the terminal (with the mount command) or with the GUI it just gets stuck.

This will provide you with a list of your drives and partitions, you need to pick the one that your root file system is installed to, it will be something like /dev/sda1 but in my case I can't even mount /dev/sda1. When I run sudo fdisk -l heres what I get

thats weird because I rebooted with a live Ubuntu CD and didn't even try to mount /dev/sda1 this time. The instructions were to then try to mount the drive from the GUI so heres what happens when I do that: it attempted to mount it for about a minute then gave me this error message When I tried again heres the error it gave me The problem seems to be that /dev/sda1 can't be mounted for some reason.
I don't know what that error message means and I don't know what else I can do to further diagnose /dev/sda1 and find out why it can't be mounted. Ordinarily I'd just reinstall Ubuntu but I have a couple of lab reports that I had saved on that partition so I'm in trouble if I can't figure out how to access the partition.
EDIT: At the end of that other thread someone recommends to use testdisk to recover the data from the partition. All I really need to do is get those lab reports back but I had them saved inside a Windows 7 guest on Virtual Box. Will this complicate matters a lot for me?
UPDATE: I tried to reinstall Ubuntu and it wouldn't work. Seems this is a bigger problem than I suspected. Does this mean my harddrive is corrupted? I can still use the Windows 7 partition but I take it that the Ubuntu installer not working is a bad sign.
How to mount vfat partition automatically after boot? After login it it will mount all vfat partition and the icon of those parition will be at desktop. How can it be done. udisks is installed.

But when I mount the card and checks for the size using df -h its showing 1 GB instead of 4 GB. how to format the SD memory card or any other alternate way to format the card.
In a desperate attempt to play Tomb Raider, I have shrunk the /dev/sda1 with GParted in Maverick Live CD (the same one I used to install) then installed WinXP on it. Unfortunately for reason X, XP simply does not boot. So again I am in the Live CD, I have deleted the XP partition and am now trying to fix Grub2. In all the tutorials, you need to mount the normal partition. Which is what I am trying to do, but:
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda1
mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
So there in nothing that I can do. Under "Places" I see my 489GB file system but I cannot mount it.
At least I am getting Internet through the Live CD and I always have Knoppix on hand.
EDIT: I should tell you that there is a boot flag on the /dev/sda1.
The problem I'm having didn't seem to be covered in other posts. Despite following what is supposed to be a straigtforward method, I am still unable to mount /dev/sda1.

I find it strange that fdisk sees the drive but mount doesn't.
I want to change the default mount options for removable devices, especially vfat devices, to have shortname=lower instead of the default shortname=mixed mount option. I googled around, and found references to /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options gnome configuration option, but I don't seem to have this option set, actually, I don't seem to have a /system/storage tree in gconf-editor at all. searching in gconf-editor doesn't really yield any results.

I have a Corsair R60 ssd disk which is a disk with both sata and usb connectors. But the usb thing seems to be a bit non-standard, or maybe its just my fedora linux.When I insert the disk using a usb cabel to a running Fedora 14 linux system, a device called /dev/sg3 is added but that is all. No new /dev/sd* device is created so I can't mount the disk.
If I look at
cat /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs
I get
ATA Hitachi HTS54321 FB2O
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N RP05
Seagate Desktop 0130
Corsair CSSD-R60GB2
So the disk is there. (The last entry) but my linux will for some reason not see it as a usb hard disk. When I insert other usb disks they work fine. It is only this specific disk which causes problems. I have tried on 3 different computers with the same result.
A hint to the problem may be that if I add the disk to a windows system(With usb) the disk is called "A fixed disk" and not a portable disk as expected. The disk works fine with linux If i connect it with the sata cabel, but I would really like to have it working with usb too. (To mount it on computers without sata).
Added:I did try to mount /dev/sg3 but mount say that its not a block device. (File say Its a character special device).
Added output from dmesg:
[ 97.454073] usb 7-1: USB disconnect, address 2

I found an other guy with exactly the same problem [URL] so I think its beginning to look like a bug in the drives firmware or in the linux kernel.
