Hi Nickel Cadmium, First, try running the command (as root): fdisk -l That should confirm whether /dev/sdb1 is a valid filesystem partition and not a swap partition. Look for an ID of 83 which identifies valid filesystem partitions. A partition with ID of 82 is usually swap and won't have a superblock. That said, if /dev/sdb1 is not a valid filesystem partition, then choose one that with an ID of 83 and looks like it has the majority of space. Then you should be able to use: dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb2, for example, and see if you get any other errors or can then successfully mount the partition. Sometimes after a reboot, the fdisk -l command reports partitions not in partition table order and will assign different partition names than the ones you may normally see to the disk/partition of interest. -- Tom _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
