Repairing File System

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello everybody, I installed a Fedora 11 in an old iBook with PowerPC long time ago, and let it be a small server at office, but the hardware was not so much stable and crashed. It looks like it corrupted the ext3 of the hard disk because I cannot boot it anymore. I extracted the hard disk from the iBook in order to connect to other computer (normal PC with GNU/Linux) to try to use tools to fix it but I cannot mount the file system and even fdisk says it doesn't have a valid partition table. Using "od" I could notice this hard disk uses "Apple partition map". How can I manage a AMP hard disk? What tools can I use to access to the ext3 partition in this disk? Thank you! (HowTos)

Hi All,

Hello, I have an USB hard disk with an ext4 file system. Every time I plug in the disk or boot the system while the disk is on, it will be mounted.

I have a couple of errors with my hard drive... I am using a 320 gb drive and I'm only seeing 289 gb with the partition and swap in system monitor. I look in the Palimpsest Disk Utility, I find that it does know I have a 320 gb hard disk. There are two warnings when I click "more info". It says "Reallocated Sector Count" and "Current Pending Sector Count" in red.
