so what does `strace` show ? how about `dmesg` ?

--- Yi Li 2009-04-02 04:25:51

strace output:

root:/> strace mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/

well, those errors from mkfs.ext3 should probably be checked

ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether

/dev/sda1 is mounted.

Creating journal (32768 blocks): mkfs.ext3: No such file or directory

while trying to create journal

since ext3 is pretty much ext2 + a magic hidden journal file in the root

directory, if the mkfs.ext3 failed to create the journal, mounting as ext3 would

fail

maybe related to /etc/mtab ... need it symlinked to /proc/mounts ...
