Help!
I am running FC1, with a maxtor 160GB HD installed. Drive is only about a
month old. I had just finished moving data from an older HD that was making
some funny sounds and throwing some random errors. All was well. Last night
we lost power for several hours and 1 machine's UPS/shutdown system didn't
power down the workstation. The other 7 in our office did fine. The power
was out for several hours.
Anyway, I now have an unbootable partition with quite bit of unbacked up data
on it I am trying to recover. In the past, whenever we would have a disk
problem I was always able to recover with tomsrt, e2fsck etc. Sometimes it
took a little while, but I can't even get started on this one. I have been
looking at lde but don't think I know enough of what I'm doing to make that
work. During the booting of the machine it throws the following errors:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=90895772, high=5,
low=7009692, sector=0
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 0
... repeats 10 time
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
I have commented the particular partition (/dev/hda3) out of the fstab file so
it isn't even trying to mount it. When trying to mount it manually I get the
usual:
steve]# mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /data
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3,
or too many mounted file systems
e2fsck yields the following:
steve]# /sbin/e2fsck /dev/hda3
e2fsck 1.34 (25-Jul-2003)
/sbin/e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read
while trying to open /dev/hda3
Could this be a zero-length partition?
[root@mercury steve]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda

We were set for the disk to mirror to another machine at 3 AM. It never made
it. I really need to get to the data if at all possible. Any suggestions
would be much appreciated.
