I can not start my laptop anymore, due to what looks like a physical HD
failure. During boot I get:
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { Uncorrectable Error }, LBAsect=260112,
sector 51144
and then
JBD: Failed to read block at offset 5864
JBD: recovery failed
EXT3-fs: error loading journal
then the laptop is frozen.
While I understand this drive will need a prompt replacement, I am
trying to recover at least the data in the /home directory.
Anyone can give me some good hint??
I thought of trying to mount the partition as ext2 so it won't read the
journal and maybe it will start, but I fear doing more damages to the
filesystem.
TIA
