Hi I work on this harddrive for 3 days now ... I had noticed errors in kernel while working on a harddrive (120 gigas) but all continue to work fine (archives/directory).. So i have unmounted the driver and try e2fsck... bad ! e2fsck 1.34 (25-Jul-2003) e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hdc1 So i have tried to create 1 image of this drive with dd_rhelp and there are results : e2fsck 1.34 (25-Jul-2003) Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks... Superblock has a bad ext3 journal (inode 8). Clear<y>? yes *** ext3 journal has been deleted - filesystem is now ext2 only *** /hdd1/hdc1.os was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Root inode is not a directory. Clear<y>? (...) I have tried with -b <num> but with same result When i re-create then filesystem (with -S) and e2fsck i have all files in lost+found (all with <number>, not one file with his real name) So some questions : - There are no way to recover with filename ? - Where are stored files name / directory's name ? - why, where i try another superblocks i got same results ? My last chance are to wait the replacement harddrive, and copy it with DD But i'm affraid to got same results... I don't need to recover all files, but the maximum with names (even if files are not in real directory) And last question, there are not backup of journal stored like superblocks? I mean backup stored on harddrive ? Excuse me for my poor english :) Nota : harddrive are a very low count of badblocks, but the actual badblock seem to be on a very bad place ... _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
