SubjectMaxtor 40 gig troubles
Hi,

My problem is described with as much info as i could think of in the
attachment.

In short: i can mount all my partitions exept the last one, and i'm wandering
if i had some kind of a diskcrash, because yesterday everything was fine.
It could be that it's a bug in the IDE driver also, so i post it here.

Please respond also by email to me as i'm not subscribed to this list (i'm not
a develloper yet)

Summary:

Just bought my new Maxtor yesterday. I had to flash my bios, and upgrade to
kernel 2.2.14. Everything fine. The disk worked also perfect, all of it.

To day i had to reset after a memory-halt (bad apacer memory).
Now my disk gives errors. I did some test to give more information. First i
thought my partitiontable was broken, but now i suspect a diskcrash:

_e2fsck_:

e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while
trying to open /dev/hdb17
Could this be a zero-length partition?
_fdisk_:
root@Viking:/root$ fdisk /dev/hdb

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4982.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Unable to read /dev/hdb


_gpart_:
Part of gpart output of the partitiontable like it is now:
Logical partition (/dev/hdb15)
type: 131(0x83)(Linux ext2 filesystem)
size: 4102mb #s(8401932) s(55890198-64292129)

Logical partition (/dev/hdb17)
no info?


Then i wanted to read the first sector of /dev/hdb17 to see if i could repair
it, but i couldn't read it. Then i teste from where on i couldn't read it
anymore:

$ uname -a

Any information if this could be a hardware problem would be nice.
