I'm new to the list. I have a problem with mounting my home directory since my PC crashed. I hope that I can get some help on this list as I don't know much of ext3 myself.
The mount command for my /home gives me the following output:
# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/tmp/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda6,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
The partition /dev/sda6 is an ext3 file system. It also tried to specify the file system type with -text3 and to use a backup superblock with the sb option but it does not help.
I tried to run fsck but it does not fix the problem either. Here is the output of fsck:
# fsck.ext3 /dev/sda6
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
Inode bitmap for group 522 is not in group. (block 3271884801)
Relocate<y>? yes
fsck.ext3: e2fsck_read_bitmaps: illegal bitmap block(s) for /home
I searched the Internet and I found a small Windows application that could see my /home partition and files. So I can't beleive there is nothing under Linux to recover my files.
I'll appreciate any help on this topic because I tried anything I could think of by myself and I still can't mount my home.
Any suggestions?
Best wishes!
