Can't mount IDE drive after RH7.3 install
|

| Hi all - I have been running a Mandrake server for a bit over a year. I
decided to switch to RH7.3. I have a second HDD that has the work,
personal, and archives of the entire year. It was a separate, mounted
directory on the system. After the install on the primary disk, my
system shows there is indeed a /dev/hdb1 partition with over 4GB
formatted in ext2:
[root@geektemp jim]# /sbin/fdisk /dev/hdb
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 525 4217062 83 Linux
- but it refuses to mount:
[root@geektemp jim]# mount /dev/hdb1 /disk3
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@geektemp jim]# mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb1 /disk3
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
or too many mounted file systems
I tried dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/disk3/files
Then mount -o loop /disk3/files /diskbak - but I get the same type of
error.
I've tried running fsck, with and without -b options, and I've even gone
so far as to install Mandrake on a second computer and hook the drive up
to it. Same thing.
A THIRD drive that I had with /home backups on it came through the
process unscathed.
Any suggestions on how I can recover the data?

try
mount -t auto dev/hdb1 /disk3

| No joy:
[root@geektemp jim]# mount -t auto /dev/hdb1 /disk3
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@geektemp jim]# mount -t autofs /dev/hdb1 /disk3
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
or too many mounted file systems
