Hi, It seems one of my computers died last night and it looks like hard disk trouble. I took the disk out and attached to another system and tried to mount the partition, but the mount doesn't complete and just hangs (process is also unkillable - I had to reboot). So, I tried to run "fsck -fccp /dev/sda2" but the command just hangs after printing "/dev/sda2: recovering journal". Now I'm pretty sure this is because there's bad blocks on the disk, as dmesg shows some disk errors (see attached file). Google tells me status 0x59 means a bad block. I tried to remove the journal to see if the fsck could get any further by using "tune2fs -f -O^has_journal /dev/sda2", but it just told me to recover the journal first (despite using -f). Anyway, I'm kind of stuck. Can anyone give me any clues as to how I can get this filesystem mounted for long enough to try and recover some data? Thanks, Kevin.
