Hello! I lost my partition. One of my most important ones... It is a 100gb partition with all my personal datas, emails, documents etc... I had a crash in kde, and I had to reset the computer. After the boot, the boot process said that it can not mount /dev/hda2. Unfortunatelly, I can not write you exactly the output, because I can't copy/paste, so I have just my brain to remember the lines. It says Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,2). mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, or too many mounted file systems.
When I type cfdisk /dev/hda it can not detect that /dev/hda2 is an ext3 fs, so under the FS Type column it writes Linux, instead of Linux ext3. I had a problem like this before with another filesystem. The problem was EXACTLY the same. Crash -> reboot -> can not mount.... But then probably I made a huge mistake: typed fsck /dev/hda1. It asked me a lot (realy lot), so I ctrl+c'd, and typed fsck -y /dev/hda1. It worked a lot (20-30mins), and wrote a lot of things, like bad imagic number (or like that), and wrong inode etc... but the question was always the same: Clear?<y>. I couldn't choose. Yes, clear... After fsck finished, I had a still unusable partition, could not mount it, and couldn't fix it, because after that, every time I typed fsck /dev/hda2, it said can not find superblock, specify another superblock with -B option. I tried a lot of number but neither of them worked. So I lost that partition. I _don't_ want to lose this partition. I need this partition. Half of my life is in this partition. Please someone help, what should I do to preserve the data on my partition. Very big thanks! Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
