various Linux kernels and distributions. Typing that string into your search engine of choice will yield a lot of results and possible solutions. The first recommendation was to sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 check to make sure the usb-storage and uhci modules are loaded (# lsmod); and they

were in my case. I even unloaded them and reloaded them (# modprobe -r module_name, # modprobe module_name) and still got the failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': input/output error error. The next most common recommendation that I saw was this:# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdevnameThat didn't work for me this time. However, I did find a suggestion that did work. Plug in the device and http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/mount-dev-sdb1-is-not-a-valid-block-device-329834/ then type:# fdisk -l(That's a lowercase "L") Now this isn't going to erase your hard drive or the data on your device. It will, however, tell you what disk partitions you have on your system, whether they are mounted or not.So, if you get the "/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device" error, plug the device in and type "fdisk -l." Then you should see something similar to this, along with information http://www.brianwsnyder.com/blog/2006/10/devsda1-is-not-valid-block-device.html about your hard drive partitions, which I did not copy here:Disk /dev/sdb: 1027 MB, 1027604480 bytes16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 3920 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytesDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sdb1 * 1 3920 1003504 e W95 FAT16 (LBA)Then all you do, based on this example, is edit /etc/fstab and change /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 and keep the options the same across the rest of that line. Then just mount like normally would:# mount /mnt/usbdeviceThat did the trick for me. But, try this at your own risk as I can't offer any guarantees! posted by bwsnyder @ 10:19 1 comments 1 Comments: At 12:05, Grzegorz said... THX! bwsnyder.I thougth, that I had camera on sda1, but I type fdisk -l and system show me, my camera on sdb1 :)Now is OK.Thank you for help.

Is the partition shown, or perhaps the disk label?If so, try mounting that. Ex: mount /media/sda1If not, try mounting the partition shown by fdisk after creating the directory in /mnt. Ex: "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1"The drive may not have been properly shutdown. You may need to run fsck.The drive may have failed.

What you want is to create a link from the new directory name to the old existing name. For that you must use the ln command to create a symbolic link. ln -s olddir newdir share|improve this answer answered Feb 2 '12 at 6:51 Kyle Jones 9,20011637 I'm trying what you suggested, but instead of linking from olddir to newdir, it create a symlink called olddir inside newdir. So for example, after doing ln -s /olddir /newdir I end up with /newdir/olddir@ which links to /olddir. How do I make it do what you said? –trusktr Mar 31 '13 at 9:19 newdir should be the name you want created that points back to olddir. newdir should not already exist. –Kyle Jones Mar 31 '13 at 20:05 I totally understand what you mean, and that's what I'm trying to do, but it's doing something really odd, completely different. /olddir exists, and /newdir does not exist. Then, after I run ln -s /olddir /newdir, it is creating /newdir/olddir which links to /olddir. I don't want it to create /newdir/olddir. I want it to create /newdir only, which should link to /olddir, but that's not what happening. So instead of making /newddir, it is making /newdir/olddir. It's so weird!!! Get what I mean? –trusktr Apr 9 '13 at 0:44 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting? Try our newslett
