I seem to have a disk problem. I want to mount a partition from hdb, but can't. At present there is one such partition mounted: g# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 2.9G 1.3G 1.5G 48% / tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda2 3.8G 2.2G 1.5G 60% /usr /dev/hda3 1.9G 1.4G 454M 76% /usr/local /dev/hda5 2.9G 1.4G 1.4G 52% /var /dev/hda6 3.8G 2.3G 1.4G 62% /tehanu /dev/hda10 9.2G 7.2G 1.6G 83% /home /dev/hdb2 14G 14G 0 100% /mnt/backup2
but it isn't behaving properly: anarres:/var/log# ls /mnt/backup2 anarres:/var/log# neither fdisk nor fsck cna access the disk or its partitions: # fdisk /dev/hdb Unable to read /dev/hdb # fsck /dev/hdb1 fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hdb1 Could this be a zero-length partition? sooo... that doesn't look so good to me. How can I figure out what's going wrong here? And once I figure it out, is ehere any way to fix it? THanks much as always, Matt -------------------------- .''`.
