[SOLVED] Data Partition will not mount

[fletcher]

I have my HDD split into partitions for ease of use. 50GB for my Mint, a little swap partition, then my data partition, which is most of the hard drive. Everything worked fine with that set-up until I decided to resize the data partition and add a new 50GB partition at the end of the drive for a Windows install.

Now when I attempt to access my data partition, I get an error pop-up that says, "Unable to mount Volume, No Object for D-Bus interface."

Did I mess something up with my resizing? Should I start over with a new install of OSes and redo my partitions? I have all of my data backed up to an external drive, so if I have to start over and redo everything, I can swing it. Just would rather not have to take the time.

Thank you to all who can help.

Paste back the output of

Code: Select all

sudo blkid

Here it is:

Code: Select all

/dev/sda1: UUID="30a5c9d4-4b9c-466b-b627-d7630a1f4651" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sda2: UUID="eb835cdd-67e2-4e4b-91fc-1a4e14f43225" TYPE="swap" 
/dev/sda3: UUID="08d078e7-2b64-4299-95fe-a49ab23b6fa6" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sda4: UUID="EAB6-85C6" TYPE="vfat" 
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="VERBATIM" UUID="0FF0-0F25" TYPE="vfat"

If sda4 is the partition in question, does it mount with

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt

or is /dev/sda3 the problem partition

[fletcher]

dev/sda3 is the partition that will not mount. sda4 will mount just fine, but that is going to be a Windows install pretty soon.

OK, so what happens with this

Code: Select all

sudo mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda3 /mnt

That has done it. Thank you so much.
