Did you get anywhere using ext2 as the filesystem type? If you mount it read-only as ext2, you should be able to read most data, one way or another. Take a look at the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda and make sure your partition table is still sane. If the disk is starting to fail, other things could be going wrong. Try running e2fsck -fn /dev/sda2, which will run a read-only check on the filesystem. What does it say? Were you able to use dd to make an image of the bad disk/partition on another, good disk? -- Ben [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Yes, I tried without any luck. If I remember correctly, ext2 did recognize the partition. -pete Bill McGonigle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Aug 3, 2005, at 23:46, pete snider wrote: I've tried 'mount -r -t ext3 -o debug,noload,errors=continue /dev/sda2 /mnt' ... and dmesg states: ext3: No journal on filesystem on sda2 Did you try -t ext2?

mount help on bad drive.
One of the disks on my system has developed a bad spot after the start of the second partition and of course will not mount. The filesystem is an ext3 with journal enabled. I've tried 'mount -r -t ext3 -o debug,noload,errors=continue /dev/sda2 /mnt' and with sb=8193 but the partition refuses to mount. The error message is a generic error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so and dmesg states: ext3: No journal on filesystem on sda2 I've tried various sb numbers which were 8192 x n +1, without success. Any other ideas of how to mount the partition or copied the readable data? By using 'dd' the bad spot looks small area. The driver gives the following errors in dmesg - DriveReady SeekComplete Error UncorrectableError - during the 'dd'. There are no driver errors during the mount. The kernel is 2.6.12.2. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideas, or thoughts. -pete ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
