How to retrieve data from a corruped volume
- by explorex
Hi,
My Ubuntu 10.10 just crashed(probably due to hardware error and in the end I was getting error like Unknown filesystem ..... grub> .. GRUB console before i could take some action) and i reinstalled the same version form USB stick. I had ubuntu installed in ext4 file system and I am also having the same filesystem in the same hard disk on different drive.
When I try to access my previous filesystem, i get error
Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda6,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I had some important files in the previous volume, I don't know how to retrieve them.
And what are the chances that I would get the same outcome (hardware error)?
Please help me!
