tried all that, to no avail.
But now I am starting to wonder if the partition is bad:
sudo fdisk -l shows it as an NTFS disk!
Code:
Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000e7314
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 60801 488384001 7 HPFS/NTFS
but sudo blkid shows it as ext4!
Code:
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="MassCool_465GB" UUID="0bd4e71d-ad2e-4d9c-80f7-bbf399a811ae" TYPE="ext4"
Maybe something is very wrong with the partition. Or perhaps the Masscool external USB enclosure doesn't like ext4? Is it possible?
I'd hate to redo this data, as it is a lot of copying. I'm going to install gparted and see what it says.
