mounting external hard disk with lvm type

Asked by juni07

Folks,

I have problem mounting external hard disk with my linux machine.
I tried both manual & automatic mount by editing fstab but it did not
recoqnize the filesystem type 'ext3'. What is the filesystem type for this
partition? or maybe you can advise me another way to mount this h/disk.

root@npi-2:/home/npi# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 13384 14593 9714600 83 Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3 2551 12876 82943595 b W95 FAT32
/dev/sda4 12877 13383 4072477+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

Howdy Mike-d. here,
(Disclaimer) I usually just file Bug Reports and I'm only so good with that.
I gave this answer earlier, it related to an external U.S.B. H.D.D. but the rest of the info about programs to download and fix your EXT might be easier to do Graphically.

I would say if your data is not backed up, wait for someone else to give you a more direct answer.
Good Luck, ask for more info, if you need more info.
