I had a drive that I forgot to monitor and the sucker died on me without warning. I've been running fsck commands on it but I've made it no better or possibly worse. My system doesn't have any RAID since it is just media files which I can get back (it will just be a pain to do that).
What I'm hoping is that you fine folks can help this linux novice out on a command/method I can run to at least get this drive to mount one last time to get data from it.
Right now, OMV warns me that manual fsck needs run every time I reboot. I run it on the device (by the way, since the /dev/sdX1 changes every time I reboot, is there another way to identify which drive is the corrupt one at the command line by seeing the drive label?)
Errors I have seen:
"Group descriptor XXXX checksum is XXXXX, should be XXXXX, FIXED
Block bitmap for group XXXX is not in group.
WARNING: SERVERE DATA LOSS POSSIBLE"
relocate? (Y)"
Thousands of those.
"Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8).
CLEARED
*** ext3 journal has bene deleted - filesystem is now ext2 only *** "
Tons of "Buffer I/O error on device sdX1, logical block XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
"Error reading block XXXXXX (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan)."

I want this drive out of my system and in the garbage as fast as possible, however, I'd really like a shot at getting any remaining data that is on there (whatever I did not already corrupt further by running these fsck -fy -c -t commands and saying yes to everything)...
I did run a dumpe2fs | grep superblock command on the file system and there were a ton of backup superblocks it found, which may be good news and somewhere to start?
Right now, openmediavault does boot and see the drive and the label, but it does not mount the drive, and throws a wicked error when I try and mount it. I don't want to blindly try throwing fsck and other commands at the drive anymore not knowing exactly what I am doing. Any suggestions on what I can do (even by removing the physical drive and booting it into a standalone Debian live CD system or something to try and get at it)...I'll try anything.
Help?
