Hi,
I have a problem with my filesystem, the kernel panics
as soon as it tries to mount the root filesystem.
I guess it is because of the IDE bug in the driver
Russell found, but he (Russell) suggest me to post
my message here.
What I've tried up to now:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
% e2fsck -B 4096 /dev/<part>
% e2fsck -B 8192 /dev/<part>
... (16384, 32768, etc.)
% e2fsck -b 4097 /dev/<part>
% e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/<part>
... (16385, 32769, etc.)
The error message I got:
(no matter the argument)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
e2fsck 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda6
My (formerly) system:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Kernel Version: 2.4.0
o Hard Disk: IBM DTTA-351010 (mode=AUTO in the BIOS)
o Architechture: i386
Is there anything I can do in order to recover my
corrupted partition?
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Eduardo.

There is a tool called gpart which will search a disk for filesystem
headers and such, and will optionally re-build your partition table
(if it is corrupted). You should give it a try.
Cheers, Andreas

I will thanks, but I must say that I did already
rewrite the partition table.
i.e., I wrote in a paper the values of my previous
partition table, then I delete all the linux
partitions and finally I rewrote them again (with
the same values it had). But it doesn't work =-(
But I'm gonna try with gpart and I'll tell you if
it works.
Thank you.
Regards,
Eduardo.
