First of all, my hard drive with one large ext3 partition is not getting mounted at startup. The device is located at /dev/hdb1.
Code:
/# mount /320
mount special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/5f8794bc-a47d-4a18-a93a-ad87aaffddbc does not exist
Ok, no problem. I'll just mount it manually.
Code:
/# mount /dev/hdb1 /320
/# cd 320
/320# ls
???.?? ??8???8?.??8 ??y.??y
WTF?!? Where are all my files?
Code:
/# umount 320
/# mount /dev/hdb1 /320 -t ext3
/# cd 320
/320# ls

Thank alah! All of my pr0n and *ahem* important documents are still there. So, what's the problem?
Code:
/# vol_id /dev/hdb1
ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
ID_FS_TYPE=vfat
ID_FS_VERSION=FAT12
ID_FS_UUID=
ID_FS_LABEL=
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=
Ok, I remembered from school that FAT12 was for FLOPPY DISKS and had no support for directories. The question is, why would this partition decide all of a sudden that it is VFAT? When I run a e2fsck it claims that the partition is clean. Running a search on google for "ID_FS_VERSION=FAT12" comes up with one (!) result.
Ideas?
