Hi, I'm on kernel 2.14.13-ac8 running Redhat 7.1. I've successfully converted all my file system to ext3 and is working fine for a couple of weeks. However, I did a silly thing when I e2fsck (version 1.23) an ext3 /home partiction without umounting it. Now, I believe my partiton super-block is corrupted and the system wasn't able to mount /home. I tried as suggested to do a e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdaX but returned with the "bad magic numer in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdaX". I've also tried debugfs and have the same error. As I've data on /home partition, I would very much hope to recover it. Short of doing a make2fs to create a new ext3 partition, is this a there any hope to recover the data? Thanks and would greatly appreciated any pointers or suggestion. SB __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
