Hi I am running a PC under Linux SuSE 7.2 with kernel 2.4.18, self compiled. I changed some days ago the partition of my second HD from ext2 to ext3 with the help of tune2fs -j /dev/hdb2 and everything was running OK. Today, I had a problem with a frozen display and I had to reboot the box cold. During the corresponding forced check I got the following messages: Quote --------- /dev/hdb2: reading journal for ext3 file system... fsck.ext3: Invalid argument:couldn't load ext3 journal for /dev/hdb2 fsck.ext3: /dev/hdb2 failed ( status 8 )! run it manually .... fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot --------- After I enter fsck /dev/hdb2 i got: Quote --------- Parallelizing fsck versioin 1.19a (13-jul-2000) e2fsck 1.19, 13-jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/hdb2: reading journal for ext3 file system... fsck.ext3: Invalid argument:couldn't load ext3 journal for /dev/hdb2 fsck.ext3: /dev/hdb2 failed ( status 8 )! run it manually --------- If I try to boot with the boot DK or with the CD ( Linux SuSE 7.2 ) I get the same wording. What can I do ? As I was just experimenting with ext3, I can reformat the second HD if necessary ( partiton magic ). However, the informations in the first HD are extremely important for me ( second HD was backup for HD 1 ;-( ) Thanks in advance for any hints ! ----------------- Beatriz Botero H. Weinheim.
