Re: error when trying to mount ext2fs harddisk, wrong magic nbr??
I'm trying to decipher the error message: ext2fs: #ad/0x000a: wrong magic number 0x8b6 (expected 0xef53) I've been reading man magic man file but I have limited C experience. I see the references to ext2 in /usr/share/misc/magic, particularly: 0x43a leshort ^0x001 (mounted or unclean) Since 0x8b6 is much greater than 0x43a, am I to conclude that the drive was umounted incorrectly? If so, is there a way to use 'file' or some other utility to edit the offending magic number to 0xef53? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After reading more man pages and the chapter Adding a Disk from UNIX System Administration Handbook, 3rd ed. by Nemieth, Snyder, Seebass and Hein, I realize that this ext2fs harddrive will best be fixed by putting back into a linux environment and proceeding with fdisk + fsck etc. cheers Torben Brosten wrote: I'm trying to decipher the error message: ext2fs: #ad/0x000a: wrong magic number 0x8b6 (expected 0xef53) I've been reading man magic man file but I have limited C experience.
