Before reiserfs, jfs, xfs, and ext3 the only filesystem I ever saw supported was ext2 going back to my first slackware 3.2 install in '96. there was the UMSDOS stuff too, but I never knew anyone that used it, and that resided on a fat partition anyways. > racking my brain (what there is left of it) i stir no memory of > anything unusual, file-system-wise. i'm just about certain that > all three of these partitions would be the same file system. > > yet /dev/hdb2 mounts like a charm. I'd try what another poster suggested, try the debian slink rescue disks. or just format it and forget about it, if you haven't needed the data on that disk for 2 years you probably won't miss anything :) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
