Alas, no joy. FC8 keeps telling me bad magic number in superblock and puts me in repair mode. Knoppix likes the partition just fine. It's fsck declares it clean. FC8's fsck declares it has a bad magic number. FC8 used to like it, too. I copied /home/* to it under FC8. Knoppix can read the result, as could FC8. What is going on? What can I do about it? Here are the partition tables: root@Knoppix:/media# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77545 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 28449 14337981 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda2 28449 28643 97776 83 Linux Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda3 28643 45307 8398656 83 Linux Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda4 45307 77545 16248235+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 45307 49182 1952968+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 49182 62358 6640672+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 62358 77545 7654500 83 Linux Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 4864 39070048+ 83 Linux root@Knoppix:/media# Something I'd forgotten before repartitioning /dev/sda is that I had a swap partition on it. FC8 now complains that it can't find the resume partition or something. The partitition that it complains about, the now absent swap partition, hasn't been listed in fstab for several reboots. Again: What is going on? What can I do about it? -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised) are called Hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse at are called Software." -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
