>Try forcing the filesystem on mount. mount -t ext2 ....

I tried that also and it complained about a superblock. I tried running
fsck on it with no luck either.=20

fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open
/dev/ram0

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

fsck.ext2 /dev/ram0 failed (status 0x8). Run manually!


I'm going to play around with some settings... change the size of it and
maybe try some other fs'.=20

Thanks,

Pete
