Hey,
Rather than booting from the disk, have you tried booting from the CD
to a recovery console (server disk) or gui (desktop disk) and running
`file -s /dev/hda3` or `dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null` and/or mounting it
just to see if it can read from the disk when _nothing_ else has been
loaded that could possibly be accessing it? By doing this, you can
isolate the issue further. Whether you can mount within a live-cd or not
can help rule out or confirm lower level issues than fstab and mount.
It mounts just fine when I use the Desktop CD and double click on the
drive in nautilus. I can see all my files just fine.
cheers,--
Owen.
p.s. example file -s output:
root@mattimeo:~# file -s /dev/hdb1
/dev/hdb1: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery)
(large files)
