    Recovery Partition in linux

    Hello.
    I have a problem with an ext3 partition. The partition was unmountable, so I executed
    Code:
    fsck.ext3-y-f-h / dev/hda3
    But that still does not work. When I try to mount the partition, I have the traditional message, "wrong file system" and the system tells me it can not find the journal inode. In fact, I have no inode or inode log. How do I recover my data? Any help on this will be great goings for me. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    To "recreate" a journal of ext3 is the f-ption of tune2fs
    Code:
    tune2fs-f.
    in your case tried to mount as ext2, it should last, file system then disassembled, the tune2fs, then reassembly. I hope you are getting my point what you are explaining. I would recommend you to read some articles or documentation on this so that you can get the basic idea about it.

    Hello,
    Even I have a similar case with me , I have tried this
    Code:
    tune2fs-f / dev/hda3
    but it did nothing more than to see a list of options available for tune2fs. I do not know how. Following what you said, I still have access to my data are all present on the disc, but when I do.
    Code:
    tune2fs-j / dev/hda3
    He told me that the filesystem has a journal, whereas when I mount the partition, I always have the same error message on the journal inode is deleted.

    Hello,
    I had a similar kind of a problem a few days before, I think I understand now how the-f option, but options are complicated tune2fs. I can not figure out what I have to give.
    Code:
    tune2fs-O has_journal / dev/hda3
    monitoring
    Code:
    fsck.ext3-fp / dev/hda3
    I think you can try this one.

    Re: Recovery Partition in linux

    Hello,
    I do not know how to disable journaling file system. How to get rid of the log and recreate a new one by doing
    Code:
    tune2fs-O ^ has_journal / dev/hda3
    then
    Code:
    tune2fs-j / dev/hda3
    And that is solved! Thank you very much for your help.
