Connect External HDD

[danilo-jlle]

Hi. I'm trying to connect a External HDD with no luck on my Pine64 board with Xenial Minimal. It is a Seagate Drive with external power source, so even it is a USB3 drive, it should work.

`   -mmcblk0p2 ext4   rootfs  0cd17b3d-39ae-4b12-a1c7-9b0a96daefe2 /

However, when I try to mount it:

sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/Teste
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

And then dmesg only shows a bunch of codes:

sudo dmesg | tail

Checking for errors:

sudo fsck -y /dev/sda
fsck from util-linux 2.27.1
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 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>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

Also tested on my PC (Manjaro), checked for errors with e2fsck and it is all ok.

For the record, this HDD was connected to a Raspi 1 and working just fine.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Update: After recreating the partition table (fdisk) and recreating the filesystem (mkfs -t ext4) it mounts perfectly.
