| 14:44.34 | Nalle_ | Heya |
| 14:44.38 | Nalle_ | Anyone awake? |
| 14:44.48 | Nalle_ | Needing a bit help with stubborn filesystem :( |
| 15:12.25 | pahartik | sitting at cafe |
| 15:13.04 | Nalle_ | Care to try to help me get a stubborn filesystem mounted? |
| 15:14.00 | pahartik | Nalle_: Well, I can probably try... |
| 15:14.09 | Nalle_ | Thanks. Here's a quickie summaru: |
| 15:15.27 | Nalle_ | It is an external USB drive behind a VIA-chipset USB 2.0 card. Upon boot, the machine sees the card and sees the drive (as /dev/sda1), mut refuses to mount it giving me the "bad fstype, option or superblock blaa blaa". Yet, I can do 'fsck -t jfs /dev/sda1' and it goes through just fine. The funny bit is, 'fdisk -l' does not see the drive.. |
| 15:16.17 | Nalle_ | I've tried power-cycling the drive (at which point it is shown in dmesg) or even disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable to reset the controller to the same effect. Neither trick helps. |
| 15:16.30 | Nalle_ | So I am a bit at loss here.. |
| 15:17.15 | pahartik | Nalle_: Use "disktype" or "parted" to get partition table details... |
| 15:17.28 | Nalle_ | Show me how and I'll do it :) |
| 15:18.04 | Nalle_ | is no linux guru. Needs exact commands to run :) |
| 15:19.00 | pahartik | Nalle_: "sudo disktype /dev/sda", "sudo parted /dev/sda" |
| 15:19.20 | Nalle_ | "disktype: command not found" |
| 15:19.41 | Nalle_ | same for 'parted' |
| 15:20.37 | pahartik | Nalle_: "disktype" is provided by package "disktype", "parted" is provided by package "parted" |
| 15:20.46 | Nalle_ | I guess I'll apt-get thoes.. |
| 15:21.50 | Nalle_ | Umm.. |
| 15:21.59 | Nalle_ | wtf |
| 15:22.41 | Nalle_ | disktype sees the drive, says that it is DOS/MBR partition map with HPFS/NTFS partition.. |
| 15:22.53 | Nalle_ | I *did* reformat the drive as JFS .. |
| 15:23.06 | Nalle_ | It also says couple of I/O errors .. |
| 15:23.10 | Nalle_ | wtf |
| 15:24.29 | Nalle_ | Lets see about parted.. |
| 15:25.05 | Nalle_ | Hmm.. I don't know how to use parted |
| 15:25.08 | Nalle_ | So I'll leave that alone |
| 15:27.32 | pahartik | Nalle_: Does it work if you "mount" it manually? |
| 15:28.52 | pahartik | Nalle_: For example "sudo mount -t auto -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt" |
