Hi, maybe someone could help me out here: I have a broken disk with serveral partitions (1-3 primary, 4 extended and 5-6 logical). I am able to get access to the primary partions and already recovered the data. I can see all partitions using fdisk -l /dev/hdc. But I cannot mount the logical ones: mount -t ext3 /dev/hdc5 /mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc5, or too many mounted file systems As fsck don't run, I tried to look for the backup-superblock with mke2fs -n /dev/hdc5 but it says: Device size reported to be zero. ... And this is the point where I am lost. Is there still way to mount this partitions? Many thanks any ideas. Ingo
You may want to look at debugfs...
