Cant mount drive, could this be a zero-length partition?
Solution 1:
It looks like you're formatting the entire disk, not just a partition: /dev/sdc stands for the whole drive, while /dev/sdc1 is its first partition. You should format and mount partitions, not drives.
To troubleshoot, try this:
- re-partition it using
fdisk(or a GUI likegparted). You should re-create the GPT/Partition table - format the first partition (
/dev/sdc1) asext4 - now try
mount
If it does not work, please post the output of the following commands:
fdisk -l /dev/sdc
fsck /dev/sdc1
