I just upgraded to kernel-2.4.18-19 from redhat and when I rebooted my jfs partition died. I restored a backup in another drive but I'd want to bring back some last minute data.
When I first booted with the new kernel, fsck told me the jfs partition had errors and it booted single user. Then I thought it was because the jfs module wasn't loaded. So I modprobed jfs and mounted it right. Then I compiled the kernel with jfs and rebooted. This reboot never finished trying to unmount local filesystems. Some hours later I did a reset and never could get the JFS partition back. I searched with google and found there were some jfs problems with 1.0.12, but I think I have 1.0.17. I tried some options from the fsck.jfs man page, like -p ,n and -o with the same results: # fsck.jfs /dev/hdc1 fsck.jfs version 1.0.17, 02-Apr-2002 The current device is: /dev/hdc1 Superblock is corrupt and cannot be repaired because both primary and secondary copies are corrupt. Versions: jfsutils-1.0.17-3 Linux version 2.4.18-18.7.xcustom gcc-2.96 glibc-2.2.5-39 What can I do now to rescue this partition ? thank you very much. -- frankie _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
