Sorry for the long delay before replying. I had to go to the beach and enjoy the sun for some days (yep, I have no saying in that) :)
Anyway, I have executed both commands you have given me and afterwards rebooted the server. So, I created the partition again however if I now run my mkfs command I get the following error: Code:
Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up superblock Code:
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 This is how my sdb drive looks: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 91201 732572001 5 Extended I did some searching for the error and I find mostly some weird chinese websites which are of no use but I also found this: http://www.iamlinux.com/2014/06/gett...ing-partition/ I dont understand that though, as I only have one partition as extended only allows one. So how can it not allow more than one if I only have one? I am really sorry that this just keeps on going and I hope you are still willing to share your knowledge with me about all this. It is truly very much appreciated :) |

Hmm yes, that sounds pretty logical.
I have deleted the partition again, now I need to wait till tomorrow before I can reboot cause this is a live website server so I can only reboot at quiet times, which are really never there but at around 6 in the morning only 500 or so users are online and they can wait a bit ;) Once I have done the reboot I will make a "p" partition (I did choose extended before). I really hope that it will work than. I will let you know how it goes! Thanks for all your help, really amazing and very much appreciated. :) [edit] Success! My 2nd harddrive is working again. Thanks again for all your help! |
