No idea if it is related, but I had a more serious set of errors like this which
happened when a non-DMA drive was used with DMA on. It corrupted the
initial blocks (or at least seemed to). So, either something to do with DMA
or you had disk corruption, in which case may be time to replace the drive???

Hi All,

Had a bit of a mishap with 2k6 earlier.....

Went to boot up, and I got the message that "superblock was missing or corrupted, run e2fsck" etc etc, and tried to do that, but with no joy.

I then put in the install disc, and selected "upgrade", just to see if any files were damaged, and hey presto, it told me that the root partition was missing...... cue one complete re install!

Any ideas what would have caused this?

I haven't lost any data (well, not seriously anyhow), but I'm interested to know what has gone on!

Cheers,

James
