[Q] Unable to mount /system in recovery - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Recently flashed MIUI on my fascinate and just went into recovery to do a backup. It states, however, that /system and /datadata etc can't be mounted, thus a proper backup cannot occur. Any idea what's going on?

[Q] How to recover from s storage mounting error

Ok I tried to flash "Mind Blown" kernel this yesterday morning and I haven't been able to mount internal or external storage ever since. I was running Axura 2.2.8.8 with the lag fix disabled and flashed Eugene's kernel and upon booting was stuck in a boot loop. I decided to try and run recovery mode but noticed that my sd card read no data. Upon an odin back to stock I realized that I could no longer mount internal nor external storgae and got the error in recovery mode I
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:
Once my vibrant boots it says internal storage damaged and external says missing or invalid mount point. I flashed kernels, roms and virtually everything I possibly know how to do, and now I need the help of an absolute wiz. Guys i really need your help with this one, I'm totally lost.

[Q] Unable to mount preinstall, Is this normal?

So during my battles trying to get JB on my atrix I performed a fastboot wipe on just about everything, including preinstall. Now anytime I flash something I get the error "unable to mount preinstall" is this bad or normal? I just searched quite a bit and found no one mentioning it.
Where are you getting this message? In the recovery?
If you wiped everything, that's perfectly normal. You can't mount a non-existent filesystem. You'll need to create a filesystem first before you (or a script) can mount it.

Error mounting /system in CWM 5

Hi!
I tried to install Android on Samsung Wave GT-S8500. I flashed FOTA and bootloader and got into recovery but since it can't mount /system (same goes for /data and /cache) I can't install any ROM or make any backup.
Is there any way to get those partitions to mount as they should?
wrong kernel. Search Kernel NAND and copy it on SD. You have Kernel SD and u need ro format SD for install any rom

[HELP] Some device partitions seem to be permanently unmounted

So a friend of mine recently gave me this YP-G70, asking me to fix it for him. His cousin had promised to put KitKat on the device, no problem, as a replacement to the stock software. This is all I know.
When I received the device, it would not boot into any ROM, only into recovery (CWM was flashed). In CWM, I could see that /system, /data, /emmc, and /sdcard partitions were all unmounted. I tried to remount them in CWM, but alas, this did not survive a reboot, even just back into recovery.
I have tried to flash the stock firmware for this device (obtained from sammobile) through odin, which was a success... until it booted up, and found that again, the proper partitions were not mounted. From there, I went on to flash CM9, which ended me up to where I am now.
As it currently stands, /dbdata, /data, /emmc, and /sdcard are all unmounted and are stuck that way. Does anyone know how to solve this, cause I am lost right now.

I would try to find out what the log files say. If you can still make a full backup under CWM, I suppose this should include the last log written by android. This is where I would start my investigation. It is of course strange that android fails to mount the /data partition. I have no clue what /dbdata is for. My gut feeling is that your friend messed up the partioning, but I think it is key to find out what happens during boot time.
Finally, since you didn't write about this: Did you try wipe the cache and dalvik cache in CWM?
