Unable to repair a filesystem
Hello Experts,
There was a power cut which lead to sudden switch off of my FC4 system. Once I rebooted I got the message as /dev/hdb13: The super block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.Run e2fsck with an alternate super block I tried the following # fsck /dev/hdb13 # e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdb13 Also tried alternate super blocks # e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdb13 # e2fsck -b 98768 /dev/hdb13 # e2fsck -b 163840 /dev/hdb13 # e2fsck -b 229376 /dev/hdb13 Whatever i try i get the same message i.e The super block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem .... I tried to run the rescue disk i.e FC4 CD 1 .. but when i try to boot from this CD ..its not booting but its going to a minimal GRUB shell . What is the solution ... I tried to repair and I tried to run rescue CD but even this failed ... what is the solution for this .. Im even unable to find the device label also i executed # e2label /dev/hdb13 but it says unknown command Plz help me out. Regards, Vikram. |

init 1 type; mount (just to make sure a hdb13 actually exists its an odd figure.) if hdb13 does not exist <b>open /etc/fstab and replace with a correct name</b> else <b>umount /dev/hdb13 mount should have told you what filesystem hdb13 was using FC4 is very new so i doubt its ext2 , it would be either ext3 or reiserFS try fsck.ext3 /dev/hdb13 fsck.reiser /dev/hdb13</b> |
this person here has had the same problem, and it was solved with fsck.ext3 utility.
I am not good in ext FS, but hope this work for you. Regards Edit: did not realize that carl0ski have answered before me, sorry ;) . |
