https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230720 Summary: OpenSuse 10.2 changed my reiserfs to ext3 on my hd and destroyed partition table on usb disk Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: oouc@yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com A 300 MB USB hard disk that has backed up many systems is unreachable since plugged it in while running openSuse 10.2. I was multi-booting on my internal hd under Windows and many linux updates. I installed openSuse 10.2 on a partition that had previously used openSuse 10.1, some beta releases of openSuse 10.2, and finally Edubuntu. This partition was reiserfs. After I installed openSuse 10.2, booting my old Ubuntu from a different partition always failed to mount the two reiserfs partitions on my internal hd. I finally discovered that both of these partitions had been changed to ext3. No problem with the internal hd. I just changed the /etc/fstab from reiserfs on these two partitions and everything on that hd showed up again. But, I have a really big problem with an external USB hd with all of my backups. It had reiserfs partitions on it. I had previously been running openSuse 10.2 and the USB cable got caught and disconnected while OpenSuse 10.2 had the red in use led lit up. In fact it should not have been using the external hd at all. Bottom line is OpenSuse 10.2 destroyed the partition table on the external usb disk. Now any Linux just sees /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 ... /dev/sda8. What can I do to recover my year's of work on that hd? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
