hdb isn't found

lordalbert · 2007-02-18 23:14:57

Hello. It seems that my second hd, hdb, isn't found..

when i try to mount it, it gives me the error:

# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 storage/
mount: special device /dev/hdb1 does not exist

check, maybe naming changed?
check fdisk -l output

i don't understand what ur doing here.
is that the output of fdisk? if so it lists nothing of hd*

maybe u outta try
ls /dev/hd*
ls /dev/sd*

in my experience, if mount returns with an error about the device not being, it's never there.

fdisk -l

lordalbert · 2007-02-19 15:11:30

ops.. sorry.... i notice that i wrong command sorry...
btw, the output is

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hdb doesn't contain a valid partition table

but it is strange... now my root is /dev/hda1, and it can't be a ntfs partition! Should be ext3 ...

quick question, is it an external harddrive connected via usb?

lordalbert · 2007-02-19 15:22:54

no, it is an internal hd

zeus · 2007-02-19 17:24:04

please post output of

mount

command

lordalbert · 2007-02-19 17:30:48

# mount
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

it seems ok..

zeus · 2007-02-19 18:42:06

hm. you have problem with partition table/FS. try:
fsck.ext3 /dev/hda1

but your second hdd partition table seems crushed. try to fix it.

it didn't change anything... i give the comand on a live cd,becouse it gives me that if i run this comand with hd mounted, it can be damage.
