Hello Arun,
I tried the following :
1)$: mknod /dev/hda5 b 3 5
2)$:e2fsck /dev/hda5 ( The response is shown below )
e2fsck 1.10, 24-Apr-97......
Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks ...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/hda5
The superblock could not be read ......try:
e2fsck -b 1751343460 /dev/hda5
$
3) $: e2fsck -b 1751343460 /dev/hda5
e2fsck 1.10, 24-Apr-97...
e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while
trying to open /dev/hda5.
Could this be a zero-length partition ?
