 |
|
I used to have a small 800mb hard drive connected to my computer just for fun, recently I switched that hard drive for a 160gb one. e2fsck still thinks the new drive is the old one so how do I tell it that it is not?
| Code: | e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hdb1
/dev/hdb1:
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
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
|
The 160gb one is an ext3 file system with lots of important files so a reformat is out of the question.

If your old hd was ext2 then you might wan't to check that you updated your /etc/fstab entry to ext3.
