I just can't get e2fsck to run on my 4.8 system. As mentioned in a previous
thread, after a crash I had to resort to booting with tomsrtbt and ran what
appears to be the same version of e2fsck. Now, with the box back up and
running, I still can't run e2fsck under BSD.

I'm therefore interested to hear from anyone who is able to run it and/or
has any suggestions as to why I might be having problems. The ext2fs
partitions happen to be in a DOS extended partition, hence they appear on my
system as:

/dev/ad0s5 and
/dev/ad0s6

# e2fsck /dev/ad0s5
e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 1281175 blocks
The physical size of the device is 0 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>? yes

and similar result for ad0s6. Having run e2fsck from tomsrtbt, they are now
mounting fine and the system is running normally, but I'd prefer to not have
to resort to booting under linux to maintain these volumes if possible.


Thanks,

Wayne
