40 Error During Mounting: “Not A Block Device”
Error During Mounting: “Not A Block Device”
Symptom Cause/Solution
When mounting a
device, you get the
following error
message:
mount: /dev/rdsk/
disk_name not a
block device
There was an error in the mount command. This error occurs when
you try to mount a disk by using the raw device name rather than
the correct block device name. Enter the correct command:
mount /dev/dsk/disk_name /mount_point
Note Always create HFS/VxFS file systems on “raw” device
names and mount file systems on “block” device names, for
example:
Raw device name: /dev/rdsk/device
Block device name: /dev/dsk/device
