Date: 22 May 2002 20:58:15 -0500 Message-ID: <1022119095.2088.126.camel@threshold> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: list-help: list-unsubscribe: list-post: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: reiserfs-list@namesys.com I had one of those terrible IBM Deskstar drives, its gone bad, when I boot my bios warns me about the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring not responding and that it might fail soon (thanks for telling me AFTER bios). Anyway, its a reiserfs partitions for /, /home, and most importantly my /media. All my mp3s are on media, about 19 gigs, I'll pay pal anyone about $20 if they can help me recover it. I'm willing to do just about anything. Inclosed are the error messages for various commands I've tried. I'm running 2.4.18 and was running 2.4.17 when this all went down. Thanks for any help or insight any of you guys can provide. threshold:~# mount /dev/hdd5 /mnt/temp/ /dev/hdd5: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type threshold:~# mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdd5 /mnt/temp/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd5, or too many mounted file systems threshold:~# reiserfsck /dev/hdd5 <-------------reiserfsck, 2002-------------> reiserfsprogs 3.x.1b Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hdd5 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):Yes reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16 reiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs format found on /dev/hdd5 reiserfsck: could not open filesystem on "/dev/hdd5" Aborted Thanks in advance all! -- Billy Transue bill@black9.net Open Source, Open Standards, Open Minds
