"Volume has incompatible disk layout" Error...
Hello, first of all, thanks for reading this post.
The scenario is this: I have a virtual machine running SLES 9. Everything was working fine one week ago, but when I started it yesterday, just didn't boot. It seemed as if it was the disk that contained the boot sentences, so I attached the disk to another machine, hoping that I could see its contents, but when I booted it to recognize the device, showed this: ----"ok" part, recognizing original devices...--- ... dasd(eckd): 0.0.9993: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01) Cyl:3339 Head:15 Sec:224 dasd(eckd): 0.0.9993: (4kB blks): 2404080kB at 48kB/trk compatible disk layout dasdd:VOL1/ 0X9993: ... ----fine until here------- ---"not ok" part, recognizing the bad disk...--- (---here's the recently added disk---) dasd(eckd): 0.0.9994: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01) Cyl:3339 Head:15 Sec:224 dasd(eckd): 0.0.9994: Trk 0: no records after VTOC] dasd(eckd): 0.0.9994: Volume has incompatible disk layout Should I assume that this disk was formatted, someone changed any boot sections, tried to play with partitions?...Is there any way to trace what happened to this disk? Please any help will be appreciated!! >_<! |
What does fdisk -l show?

You should run testdisk on your disk
