crash 2229
Thanks for the tip, I put the drive back into the USB enclosure and connected to my Ubuntu notebook through the USB port. I looked at the syslog and retrieved the following messages. Ubuntu seem to recognize hardware just fine through SCSI emulation at sda. However, it tried to mount it as a FAT file system. I suspect the drive is formated as ext3 under Linux. But mounting it or running fsck on it as ext3 doesn't work. Not sure if it is because the SCSI emulation is hiding the drive behind a FAT translation service. Any ideas?

The Natural Philosopher I have my own favorites. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its relations (e.g., CentOS). These are not bleeding edge software. The emphasis with these...
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
So, I suppose let me post the result of 'dmesg' version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 PREEMPT...

With figures like that, you definitely need to reparbreastion at some stage, but I don't think you need to worry about starting from scratch just yet. IMNSHO 50G each fortmp andusr is way OTT...
