Hi List,
On my home pc I am running SuSE 8 Pro.
I have my root partition using reiserfs.
When I woke up this morning the computer was frozen and after rebooting
it tells me there is no root partition defined. I pulled the hdd from
the machine and slaved it into another SuSE 8 pc. If I use Yast2-
Partition Utilities I can see the partitions are defined and the fs is
still being listed as reiserfs on the failed root on the home hdd.
I tried using reiserfsck as follows:
resiserfsck --check /dev/hda4
reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 2
reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16
reiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs format found on /dev/hda4
reiserfsck: could not open filesystem on "/dev/hda4"
reiserfsck --rebuild-sb --rebuild-tree /dev/hda5
reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16
reiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs format found on /dev/hda5
reiserfsck: could not open filesystem on "/dev/hda5"
reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hd5
reiserfsck: could not open filesystem on "/dev/hd5"
Of course when I try to mount I get the dreaded:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5,
or too many mounted file systems
Please tell me there is hope?
Thanks in advance.
