I moved my ide disks around this morning, shifting a secondary hdd
containing my mp3 collection from secondary master to primary slave.
/proc/ide shows hda and hdb
Anyway, it won't mount giving errors:
#sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb /mnt/disk2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
or too many mounted file systems
I tried to run fsck on it:
[root@response ide]# sudo /sbin/fsck /dev/hdb
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read
while trying to open /dev/hdb
Could this be a zero-length partition?
I'm begining to think I've got disk problems - anything else I could try?
other notes:
- it's a recently upgraded rh7.3 system. I converted the main
disk to ext3. I've also tried mounting the hdb as ext3 with the same
error returned. I hadn't attempted to mount the drive since the upgrade.
- I dismounted some smbf shares in case the 'too many
mounted files systems error' was genuine. No cigar.
