What do i do to fix this error? if it matters i'm running a script on the pi that writes to that flash drive unix raspberry-pi share|improve this question edited Jul 6 '15 at 19:32 asked Jul 6 '15 at 19:25 Mahallon 257 that's not a directory. /dev/sda is your primary harddrive/storage system, of which sda1 is the first partition - e.g. it's usually your boot drive. –Marc B Jul 6 '15 at 19:28 @marc sorry, noted and edited. but i still don't know exactly what that means –Mahallon Jul 6 '15 at 19:33 Maybe this will help: raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40487&p=333051 –Filipe Goncalves Jul 6 '15 at 20:20 @filipe I read that whole thread before posting this question, I tried multiple of the commands but as far as i could tell they just gave me more messages that i didn't know what they mean for example: FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted, Some data may be corupted.

You can enable or disable this behavior by editing the file ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE-pi/pcmanfm.conf and changing the line mount_removable=1 to set '0' instead. You would get that error if there were more than one thing trying to

"An operation is already pending". « on: March 08, 2015, 11:26:49 AM » Hi All,I'm having trouble mounting a 32gb micro SD card and wondered if anyone could help me. My other USB pen drives work and mount fine but this one - which is not strictly a pen drive, just a micro SD card in an adapter - just says: "Mount Failed: An operation is already pending".I've tried it in XFCE, MATE and as the root user and the result is the same in all cases. It has worked in the past so I don't know what has changed.Since after it has failed to mount and has shown the error message above it still shows the icon for the device on the desktop with no option to eject or unmount it, I have assumed that that means it is safe to physically remove it. But now I'm not so sure whether that might have made it worse... after all 'pending' could mean it's in the middle of something or has queued it to do later.Anyway any help here would be much appreciated, but just be aware that I'm still a newbie and have no terminal experience with mounting - I've never had a problem before and have always taken it for granted. « Last Edit: March 11, 2015, 10:36:17 AM by m14x » Logged Samsung N130 Netbook, XFCE Desktop dm+ PCLinuxOS Tester Hero Member Posts: 2725 Re: Unable to mount a micro SD card.
