Unable to mount the filesystem due to multiple filesystem signatures detected
Issue
- Unable to mount filesystem due to multiple filesystem signatures.
- Filesystem fails to mount with error message more filesystems detected
- mount command detects multiple filesystems while mounting.
[root@hostname]# mount /dev/vg/lv /mountpoint
mount: /dev/vg/lv: more filesystems detected. This should not happen,
use -t <type> to explicitly specify the filesystem type or
use wipefs(8) to clean up the device.
