Use fsck as root on the drive that fails. Which filesystem is it?

virusso80 · 2010-01-15 12:43:59

it's an ext3 partition

Use:

/sbin/fsck.ext3 /dev/sda5

it seems like today is broken filesystem day.. LOL
I had this problem too in my laptop and that fsck solved it very well!

unfortunatly I cannot say the same thing about the external hard drive that is connected to the desktop which has a fat32 filesystem corrupted.. I'm trying to find some courage to format it, because testdisk can only recover the files with some default name.. thats not good enough because 320GB of music, movies and documents isnt very usefull without the real names.. x| I guess this is just not my day

regards!

There's a /sbin/fsck.vfat as well.

tks but I guess it deed no miracle like the one for ext4..
"dosfsck 3.0.6, 04 Oct 2009, FAT32, LFN
Logical sector size (56113 bytes) is not a multiple of the physical sector size."

I guess I'll really have to format this little bastard -.-
