I know there is filesystem there.... I just wrote it.
What in the world?
dd if=/dev/sda2 bs=16 count=1 | od -a
says records in and records out and then so maNY BYTES WERE COPIED IN how
much time. . Then it says..... oh how stupid I am! I created the d drive on
a logical partition..... sda5 not sda2
hmmmm.... it didn't mount it read-only but I'm getting other errors wh.en I
run fsarchiver. This time it says:
executing [ntfs-3g -h]. . .
command [ntfs-3g -h] returned 9
executing [ntfs-3g -o streams_interface=xattr -o efs_raw -o ro
/dev/sda1 /tmp/fsa/20120114-164053-00]. . .
command [ntfs-3g -o streams_interface=xattr -o efs_raw -o ro /dev/sda1
/tmp/fsa/20120114-164053-00]. . . returned 0
Analising filesystem on /dev/sda1. . .
[error5 (and then it gives a directory that my folks deleted before
they gave my brother this computer)]
[error5 more text I don't want to type
[executing fusermount]. .
command fusermount returned 1
executing fusermount -u <file>]. . .
command fusermount -u <file> returned 0
removed <fsarciver file>
This is so frustrating. I can't create an account on the fsarchiver forum
so I need to ask you guys.
