-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I don't know if this is the right list, but here goes what happened recently to me. I have an IDE disk (hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS20, ATA DISK drive / hda: 39851760 sectors (20404 MB) w/1902KiB Cache, CHS=2480/255/63, UDMA(100)) connected to 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 12) I've decided to make a partition, so I've fired up fdisk and make a new one (hda7) of 4GB, as you can see in this line: /dev/hda7 1170 1679 4096543+ 83 Linux Then I've run mke2fs -j /dev/hda7, mounted it, copied data to it, umount it. I've not rebooted. Now I'm trying to mount it back, after a reboot, and mount refuses to mount it, kernel gives me this message: VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev ide0(3,7). Remembering what happened, I noted that the partition got formated like if it was just 1GB. All this was done using kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x under RedHat 7.3 Any idea of what caused this? And hopefully how can I get my data back? Thanks in advance, PS: please CC me the responses, since I'm not on this list, thank you. - -- Robinson Maureira Castillo Gerencia de Sistemas y Tecnologias INACAP - -- "Unix is simple and coherent, but it takes a genius (or a programmer at any rate) to understand and appreciate it's simplicity" - Dennis Ritchie -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+5jUXHaH/ruUfNtURAn1gAJ9qReWBocYX7jmHisckr7Bh1WKDhQCgiTo+ 2NVRfwYKOSWDC7fNMJw4VyA= =TI9+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
