Hello, Problem: e2fsck is unable to determine the size of the physical device on a compact flash. /dev/hda is a compact flash disk with 4 partitions. (3primary+1extended). ls -l /dev/hda* shows all the devices.
If I mount any partition on /dev/hda* to /tmp/tmp (for eg: /dev/hda1 to /tmp/tmp) and run e2fsck on /dev/hda3 (or any other), e2fsck runs fine without problem. All 4 partitions on the CF disk are ext3. The output of the commands are below. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Hebbar. # e2fsck -v /dev/hda3 e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) Error determining size of the physical device: No such file or directory # ls -l /dev/hda* brw-rw---- 1 0 0 3, 5 /dev/hda5 brw-rw---- 1 0 0 3, 4 /dev/hda4 brw-rw---- 1 0 0 3, 3 /dev/hda3 brw-rw---- 1 0 0 3, 2 /dev/hda2 brw-rw---- 1 0 0 3, 1 /dev/hda1 brw-rw---- 1 0 0 3, 0 /dev/hda #mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /tmp/tmp # e2fsck -v /dev/hda3 e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) /dev/hda3 has been mounted 21 times without being checked, check forced.
