Hi. I do have a very similar problem as described in this thread. I get the same kind of errors. But I am not even able to mount the partition. When trying to do so, there is a message complaining about a missing superblock in the kernel-log. (maybe the sector where the superblock is are corrupt? BTW, what is the superblock? :) ) When I try to e2fsck the parttion I always get a message "attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/ataraid/d0p2) But is there a way to force-mount the partition to at least get access to the files in not-corrupted sectors? Would be great to receive some help. Philipp _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
