Hi, A partition on one of my hard drives has decided that blocks 0, 1 and 2 are no-go areas. I can mount the drive manually by using mount -t ext3 -o sb=131073 /dev/hdg2 /web. If I run e2fsck on the drive, I always get the following output /dev/hdg2 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information Free blocks count wrong for group #116 (32255, counted=32253). Fix? yes Free blocks count wrong for group #178 (32252, counted=32251). Fix? yes Free blocks count wrong for group #209 (6856, counted=6790). Fix? yes Free blocks count wrong for group #210 (16220, counted=16282). Fix? yes Free blocks count wrong for group #229 (32208, counted=31551). Fix? yes Free blocks count wrong (8301757, counted=8301093). Fix? yes Free inodes count wrong for group #116 (16352, counted=16350). Fix? yes Directories count wrong for group #116 (0, counted=1). Fix? yes Free inodes count wrong for group #229 (16331, counted=16201). Fix? yes Directories count wrong for group #229 (7, counted=19). Fix? yes Free inodes count wrong (4293267, counted=4293135). Fix? yes /dev/hdg2: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /dev/hdg2: 7441/4300576 files (1.6% non-contiguous), 294123/8595216 blocks Error writing block 1 (Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in short write). Ignore error? yes It doesn't matter how many times I run e2fsck or fsck.ext3, I always get the above. badblocks -n doesn't help either. The superblock is intact (as I can mount it), but I am unable to automount the drive on boot. Anyone know how to get around this? TTFN Paul -- "Space", it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big space really is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemists, but that's just *peanuts* compared to space, listen" - Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy
