diagnosing firewire hard drive problems
hey folks,
I have an external firewire hard drive mounted via the scsi/firewire
system -- I store my mp3's there mainly.
my 3-year-old turned off the drive unit's power switch one day when I
wasn't paying attention (hopefully learned a parenting lesson
there!). Now the drive is still detected by rescan-scsci-bus.sh, and
the relevant partition will mount, but any operation I try gives the
following error:
[18:36:16]root@matts-mac:~$ mount /mnt/firewire2
[18:36:19]root@matts-mac:~$ ls /mnt/firewire2
ls: reading directory /mnt/firewire2: Input/output error
so my question: how do I start figuring out what's wrong? I'd rather
not have to delete the whole iflesystem...
any suggestions?
thx,
matt
