Can't mount a newly created ext3 partition from the new Hard Disk I installed...
I bought a Western Digital 80GB Hard Disk as a second disk for my
GNU/Linux Debian system (kernel 2.6.8-2-386).
I attached it as a Slave and set its jumper accordingly. The next step
was to create partition, and I created one by running (under root of
course) 'fdisk /dev/hdb' and using the command new (n) to create a
primary partition with partition number 1 for which I only used 12GB
(of 80GB available). Also with command 't' I made sure the filesystem
is ext3 (code 83).
I created a directory /music on which I plan to mount this filesystem.
Then I went to change my fstab file which now looks like this:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda2 /localdisk ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /music ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,users,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 ro,users,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/sda /media/usb0 auto rw,users,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/usb1 vfat rw,users,noauto 0 0
shmfs /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0
I restarted my system and the filesystem was not mounted. Here's my syslog:

Also, when I start 'Disks Manager' (disk-admin) I can see the Hard
Disk with the created partition, correct filesystem format and correct
mount point - exactly as I set it BUT under the partition 'Status' it
says: "Inaccessible" - there is also a button 'Enable' there but when
I press it nothing happens.
And under the partition 'Size' it says: "11,18 GiB (Free space not available)"
And when I try mounting it with (under root) "mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1
/music" I get
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
and this is what I get when I enter "dmesg | tail":
SCSI subsystem initialized
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdb1.
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdb1.
Please help, I'm new with all of this and I really can't figure out
what I did wrong nor can I find an adequate solution Googleing the
web.
Can you see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
