Mount: Unknown Filesystem Type ‘(null)’ Error

Hey guys,

I’m trying to mount a disk volume on aws under CentOS 7. And when I try I
get this result:

[root@repo:~] #mount /dev/xvdf1 /opt/repo mount: /dev/xvdf1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: unknown filesystem type ‘(null)’

The only thing I can see in dmesg that seems to relate is:

[ 2481.434610] EXT4-fs (xvdf1): VFS: Can’t find ext4 filesystem
[ 2509.883144] EXT4-fs (xvdf1): VFS: Can’t find ext4 filesystem

What can I do to get around this poblem?

Thanks, Tim
