BadSuperblock
I’m adding a second drive to an existing system.
I have done this in the past with no problems but this time. I installed a 250g IDE drive as a slave on IDE1. BIOS recognizes the drive. I created a single partition on the drive with fdisk. I created a file system: mkfs –t ext3 /dev/hdb When I try and mount this drive: mount –t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb I get: wrong fs, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1 or too many mounted file systems. When I run e2fsck I get a error that the superblock could not be read. I have tried rebuilding the File system, building 2 partitions on the drive and nothing I do seems to work. Suggestions? Could the Drive be bad out of the box? |
ok let's just start by finding out what you actually did, because "mkfs –t ext3 /dev/hdb" couldn't ever work.... it should be /dev/hdb1 after correctly partitioning hdb1. and to step back further, what does "fdisk -l /dev/hdb" say?

My Mistake It was: mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdb1
/fdisk -l /dev/hdb Disk /dev/hdb: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 30401 244196001 83 Linux |
