dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. ==========================================================
Why is TW not letting me mount by confirmed device-name?
Why do you say it doesn't?
Because dolphin showed nothing under /0/sa07 :-)
What evidence have you shown?
The error message says /dev/sda7 is already mounted OR mountpoint is busy
Your original question implies that it does not allow you to mount by device name but allows you to mount by using some other method. You have not shown proof of this, in this message at least.
Maybe the error message should say WHERE it is mounted? The already-mounted bit couldn't be the reason because it's a path of my own making. I use canned mountpoints for often used mounts, this way my stuff never gets stepped on @ /mnt nor vice versa (below)
You have not shown that you can mount by another method.
I could mount by using uuid but that wasn't what I commanded
AND, you have not shown that you read the error message and done what it told you to do.
the error message is incomplete and dmesg is in chinese:
Nonononono. You have to find out what new lines are written there when you issue the command, not the entire thing. That is, the instant you run the command and get the error message, your run dmesg and look at the end. Or, better still, you open a terminal, write "dmesg --follow", hit enter a few times, then on the original terminal issue the command. A few lines should print in the demsg terminal. Just read those lines, and post them here. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
