Bought a new 3TB hard drive this week onto which I created a new GPT partition table and a 3TB ext4 partition. This completed successfully and I used rsync to copy some files onto it.
The next day, I was unable to mount the drive and so I ran fsck on it. This failed pass 5: Checking group summary information with lots of block bitmap differences. I fixed these, but on running fsck a second time, these block differences were back. Now this drive is currently sat in an external USB tray so that I could copy files across before replacing the one in the computer. Are these errors due to it being on USB or is the drive faulty? -- Registered Linux User #466407 http://counter.li.org -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
