I have formated a 2TB external disk with UDF filesystem in Ubuntu. The way I formatted it was:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=2048 count=1
sudo mkudffs --media-type=hd --vid=myDisk --blocksize=2048 /dev/sdc
Now I plug the disk in OSX and nothing is automount. The disk is recognized, but nothing else, it's not mounted. I am in OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
diskutil list
shows:
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *2.0 TB disk2
So first problem is that it doesn't recognize the TYPE NAME is defined in format option (--vid=myDisk). Anyway....
I tried to mount the disk manually:
sudo mkdir /Volumes/myDisk
sudo mount -v -t udf /dev/disk2 /Volumes/myDisk/
And I get:
mount_udf: /dev/disk2 on /Volumes/myDisk: Device not configured
If I try:
diskutil mount -mountPoint /Volumes/myDisk /dev/disk2
I get
Volume on disk2 failed to mount; if it has a partitioning scheme, use "diskutil mountDisk"
If I try:
sudo mount_udf -b 2048 /dev/disk2 /Volumes/myDisk/
I get
mount_udf: /dev/disk2 on /Volumes/myDisk/: Device not configured
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
/dev/sdc
instead of/dev/sdc1
. Not sure if that's a problem on OS X, but you may want to create a partition/dev/sdc1
, create the UFS filesystem and try again.
