Hi everyone,
I was using one of our computers the other night when I started getting a
bunch of errors, the text of which I can't remember but I do recall hearing
timeouts. Anyway, I thought I'd reboot but it wasn't reading the root
filesystem so I couldn't run a reboot or shutdown. So I just hit reset.
It then panicked as it couldn't mount the root filesystem because it was
reporting a bogus size of 0 bytes, even though the kernel loaded off that
same partition.
I pulled the drive out of that box and stuck it in this one. The drive
checks out OK on boot-up and looks OK in fdisk:
Disk /dev/hdc: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 1023 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 484 975712+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc2 485 546 124992 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdc3 547 1023 961632 83 Linux
But when I try to mount a partition, I get the following error:
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide1(22,1).
FAT: bogus logical sector size 0
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 16:01.
FAT: bogus logical sector size 0
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 16:01.
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
It's either EXT3 or EXT2, can't remember which, but if I specify either in
the mount command, I get the equivalent of the first line of the above.
So is my drive hosed? Or is there something I'm overlooking?
Geoff.
