I receive the following error when trying to mount /dev/sda1 ,an ext4 partition:



Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /run/media/andrew/3a3aa528-cad4-4487-9ed3-b8667ca103e2: mount(2) system call failed: No such file or directory.


Hang on...



It wasn't there, I mkdir'ed it and I still get the same error. Gparted shows sda1 as fine and 10% full. Any ideas?? Thanks.




[andrew@broom Desktop]$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 --target /run/media/andrew/3a3aa528-cad4-4487-9ed3-b8667ca103e2
mount: /run/media/andrew/3a3aa528-cad4-4487-9ed3-b8667ca103e2: mount(2) system call failed: No such file or directory.
[andrew@broom Desktop]$ cd /run/media/andrew
[andrew@broom andrew]$ ls

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Can you explain why you are trying to mount it to a special filesystem (tmpfs) below /run? Have you tried other locations like subfolders of /mnt, /media or your home folder?

Try this:



sudo mkdir /mnt/stuff
sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/stuff


Then do what you want to with the "stuff" and when finished use:



sudo umount -l /mnt/stuff
sudo rm -d /mnt/stuff


This is from an interactive script I wrote last week: Unable to read files between two distros
