I dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu 5.04. I have an 80 GB external
Firewire HDD on which I have created a 10GB partition for archiving
Linux data. I have formatted this partition several times as ext3 both
using the installer partitioning tool, and also Qparted when the install
has finished.
On booting Ubuntu however, I get a "bad superblock error" on sda2 (the
ext hdd partition) and it asks me if this is a genuine *ext2* partition.
Hows that? How can it think it's ext2 when I've formatted it several
times both in and out of Ubuntu as *EXT3* ?????
The suggested remedy at boot (running fsck -f 8193 /dev/sda2) just does
nothing - it just repeats the question "is this a genuine ext2 partition".
Any suggestions on how to remedy this?
Thanks
