Linux Mounting HDDs in RedHat 7.3

Ok, I managed this fine in RedHat 8, edited fstaband all that, but had a few other issues with , so went back to 7.3. Just done a fresh install, and want to mount my Storage HDD on boot, so added this line to /etc/fstab:

Code:

/dev/hdb		/mnt/storage		vfat	defaults	0 0

But it returns this error:

Code:

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, or too many mounted file systems.

(Could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

I've also tried mounting at the console, with the same error. The drive is FAT, and used to work fine with RH8. Any ideas?

Cheers.

 

Ok. Even stranger, I can mount my Windows partition no problems with

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

 

nvm, apparently Windows decided to make my storage drive on partition hdb5. Cheers for that!

(found out by running fdisk -l)
