Hi again, >A power outage turned off my computer while I was exiting from Linux and now when I try to boot Linux up, I'm presented with this.... >Unattached inode 522486 >/dev/hdb5:unexpected inconsistency;run fsck manually > >So I did this.... > >fsck -A -V ; echo == $? == > >and the outcome was... > >==8== > >therefore it's an operational error, but now I'm stumped as to what to do. All right, I determined that it is a bad super-block so I'm trying to replace it by doing this.... e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdb5 but it returns... e2fsck:bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdb5 and it returns the same response for other superblocks (at 16385 and 24577) any suggestions? Thanks, Evan
