I can't mount a partition present on one of my backup drives.
I ran fsck on this partition, and after that its being detected as "ext4"
HDD is working perfectly fine and data on NTFS partition can be access easily.
I just hope my Data on it is safe.
gaurish ~ $ sudo fdisk -l
Partition table entries are not in disk order

Interesting. I'd be fixing the partition table entries order first cause that's a weird screwed up order they're in!
From http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@ … 02449.html
Start fdisk on the drive, enter the advanced menu ('x') and them 'm' to fix the partition order. Don't forget to 'w' to write them.
It probably won't fix your problem, but it will help straighten things out working towards fixing it

Will this erase data present on the drive?
If yes, then i don't want to do this

No - but as per the link, you may have to update Grub and fstab to reflect possible changes in the partition numbering.

Will that make sdb6 partition readable?
