I lost my ability to mount and external USB mirror drive because "FIFO
stuck":
# mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /media/mirror
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
In /var/log/kern.log:

I'm running kernel 2.6.8-2-686 with sarge. I was able to mount the
drive before, and have not changed anything.
