The old Zip disks were partitioned and the ext2 file system was created there according to the recipe above on 7.3, but they cannot be mounted on 8.1 via

It's strange. What is the output of "e2fsck -fn /dev/hdd1" for these disks?
linux:/home/micaye # e2fsck -fn /dev/hdd1 e2fsck 1.28 (31-Aug-2002) e2fsck: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/hdd1
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
Yes this disk was created under 7.3 and no it will not mount under 8.1 .
It looks like a compatibility problem with ext2 FS. (In other words it's not related to the Zip drive). Note there is a similar report on this list: : From: "Jason Jonas - Sapien" <jejonas@sapienconsulting.com> : Subject: [SLE] Redhat to Suse and ext2 FS : To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> : Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 16:53:45 -0600 : : I've been building a new suse 8.1 pro box to replace an old redhat : box.
