My harddisk has crashed which was an ext3 partition. The other partition
on the same disk is working fine. But I cannot mount my root partition any
more. I had some very important data in that partition.
The following error occurs when I try to mount it now (as an external
harddisk, now that I have got a new harddisk running Fedora again).
[root@localhost desktop]# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@localhost desktop]# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x819a4f90
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 13316 106960738+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdc2 13317 13574 2072385 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdc3 13575 38913 203535517+ 83 Linux
[root@localhost desktop]# mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt/disk
[root@localhost desktop]#
So I can mount the last partition but not the first partition
This is another attempt.
[root@localhost desktop]$mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Please help.
