fsck.ext3: No such file or dir
Hey,
This is what I did with my 2 pata and 2 sata drives 1) move all my data to 2 sata drives and then installed debian 2) moved all sata data to new ext3 file structure. 3) hopefully you get the idea of what I was trying to do. when I used fdisk, it showed 4 partitions on my NTFS sata drives that held the data I just copied. I dont understand why 4 showed up, is this an ntfs thing? using fdisk I deleted the NTFS partitions, and created one new partition in each drive. I used Code:
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda1 Now when debian is booting, it seems to try and run some ext2 fsck tools and fail. it then asks me to login as root or press ctr-d to continue. after booting, the sata drives are not mounted. So i do this Code:
mount -a running fdisk on any of my drives fails to pick up any partitions (when I press p to list partitions) here is my fstab file Code:
GNU nano 1.2.4 File: /etc/fstab |
some more details
here is the exact error.
Code:
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda1 |
bump
I'd really appreciate someone helping me out.
Thanks |
Most likely the driver for the SATA controller is being loaded later in the boot process, after the fsck is attempted. Hotplug is probably what's currently loading the driver, so that would make sense. To work around that, you can put the driver name in /etc/modules and it'll load earlier.

Is this the right module for sata support?
