SMS.3205 Failed to Mount Partition XXX to Directory XXX

Symptom

A Linux file-level migration failed, and you received message "SMS.3205 Failed to mount partition /dev/vdc1 to directory /mnt/vdc1."

Possible Causes

Some file systems on the source server are not supported by SMS.

Solution

Check the file system types on the source server. SMS supports the following file systems:

• Linux: Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, XFS, and VFAT are supported. Btrfs and ReiserFS are not supported.
• Windows: NTFS is supported. FAT32 file systems on non-boot partitions are not supported.

For unsupported file systems such as ReiserFS, you can copy files to other file systems, uninstall the unsupported file systems, and then perform the migration.

If this is not possible on the source server, you can:

• Use IMS to create a system disk image for the source server from an external image file and use the image to create a server on Huawei Cloud. For details, see Creating a Windows System Disk Image from an External Image File or Creating a Linux System Disk Image from an External Image File.
• Use a public or KooGallery image to create a server and deploy your applications on the server.
• Use the Cloud Migration Service on Huawei Cloud.
