linux:/sbin # umount /dev/hda2
umount: /dev/hda2: not mounted
linux:/sbin # mke2fs -n /dev/hda2
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
4882432 inodes, 9753463 blocks
487673 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
298 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632,
2654208,
4096000, 7962624
linux:/sbin # e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hda2
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda2
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
and so on for all superblock values given when running mke2fs -n /dev/hda2
so I got a bit further. Still open to suggestion....
