Hey everyone. I recently put Ubuntu 12.10 back on my desktop and am having issues mounting one of my hard drives. Here is my layout:
/dev/sda - 60GB SSD - The drive with Windows
/dev/sdd - 500GB HDD - NTFS
/dev/sdb - 1TB HDD - NTFS
/dev/sdc - 1TB HDD - 100GB Partition for Ubuntu and 900GB NTFS Partition
Everything seemed to be working fine, and I can access all my drives, except for /dev/sdb. If I attempt to access the drive in Dolphin (I'm using KDE) I get the error:
When I saw this, I did a chkdsk in Windows and, in fact, the drive did have some issues. However, it was successfully repaired and chkdsk (and other disk utilities) do not report any further problems from the drive. I still get the same error when trying to access the drive in Ubuntu however.Code:p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } An error occurred while accessing 'Storage II', the system responded: The requested operation has failed.: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (1953515519): Invalid argument HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS), or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid). Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
One other thing to note - according to the error message, it appears to be trying to mount the partition /dev/sdb2, which does not exist. Here's my fdsik -l output:
So /dev/sdb2 doesn't even exist. When I try to mount /dev/sdb1 though, with:Code:Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7297 cylinders, total 117231408 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x72d8792f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 117227519 58612736 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x7621678e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 63 1953523119 976761528+ 42 SFS Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0002a311 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 2048 204802047 102400000 83 Linux /dev/sdc2 204802048 1953519615 874358784 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT Disk /dev/sdd: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x7dd50b7b Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 * 2048 178175 88064 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdd2 178176 976769023 488295424 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT Disk /dev/sde: 16.0 GB, 16001269760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1945 cylinders, total 31252480 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18
I get the following error:Code:sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/orion/Storage\ II
So it looks like there may still be a problem on the disk that Ubuntu finds but Windows doesn't. Any suggestions? Thanks very much.Code:ntfs_mst_post_read_fixup_warn: magic: 0xba010000 size: 1024 usa_ofs: 11076 usa_count: 1059: Invalid argument Record 0 has no FILE magic (0xba010000) Failed to load $MFT: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.
