Are you sure your command syntax is correct there?Originally Posted by zrs_12
Wtf? mount: No buffer space available
I am new to BackTrack, and I am trying to install it on my HDD. I have the CD and it is running perfectly. In addition, both the md5 and sha1 sums matched. So, I know I have a good .iso and CD. However, when I try "mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5/" (hda5 is an ext3 formatted blank partition, I get the error "mount: No buffer space available". I have no idea what is going on. I booted into Xubuntu to see if there was damage on my HDD, but I could mount the partition just fine. When I ran fsck, it asked if the partition was of 0 length. I am at a loss for what to do.

Is hda5 already mounted?
"\x74\x68\x65\x70\x72\x65\x7a\x39\x38";
I did umount -a and then mount and it showed 3 things that were mounted (couldn't be unmounted because they were busy). Also, yes, I am sure my syntax is correct. I have try any conceivable syntax to try to make it mount, but it never works.
I did umount -a and then mount with no parameters and it only showed three mounted devices which couldn't be mounted due to them being busy (none of which was hda5). Also, I am sure my syntax is correct as I have tried every concievable syntax for mount. In addition, it is not only hda5 but hda1-hda6 (all of the partitions on my disk) that give this error when trying to mount them in BackTrack.
What is the result of fdisk -l?

I forgot mods had to approve the post and I thought I didn't submit it or something. Anyway, fdisk -l shows absolutely nothing.
Well, after extensive consultation on #remote-exploit on IRC, we have determined that my HDD is probably screwed and I need to get a new one. For the record though, here is my "dmesg | tail".
hda: status error: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=59922570, high=3, low=9590922, sector=0

Well can you use something else on the drive (read: another O/S)?
Maybe try dban to see if you can write to the drive, if so then the drive is probably ok.

Well, I have Ubuntu installed on one partition and Windows XP Pro SP3 and Win7 build 7000 on two other partitions. When I boot the Ubuntu partition it gives me an I/O error on several sectors of one partition and GParted tells me that this partition cannot be read from and I need to run checkdisk on it. However, my XP and Win7 run fine, and I can mount all the partitions when running a Xubuntu liveCD.
