Subject: Can't access my old minix partition, I need my data!
Date: 11 Apr 1993 08:37:17 -0400

Hello Linuxers!

After upgrading to ex2fs and partitioning my disks (reduce DOS part.,
increase linux root, increased swap, but DIDN'T changed my second minix
partition I can't more access my minix partition.

Now fdisk says:
Disk /dev/hda: 12 heads, 35 sectors, 989 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 420 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 342 71802+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda2 797 797 983 39270 5 Extended
/dev/hda4 343 343 796 95340 83 Linux extfs
/dev/hda5 797 797 954 32969+ 81 Linux/MINIX <<this is it
/dev/hda6 954 954 983 6282+ 82 Linux swap

Command (m for help): v
Partition 5: previous sectors 400293 disagrees with total 400656
2520 unallocated sectors

mount says:

(root)~#mount /dev/hda5 /user
mount: Unknown error 26240

fsck says:
(root)~#fsck -v /dev/hda5
fsck: bad magic number in super-block

what is wrong there.
I need my data back, can anyone help me?

(Sorry, my last mail was empty, because my joe 1.0.8 have a bug on my
machine.)
