If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2<br />filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock<br />is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:<br /> e2fsck -b 8193 </i><br /><br />after e2fsck -b 8193 , the same message.Mr.Franchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14272497941329601460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202207999277431930.post-15153908107567640512010-07-20T03:41:15.904-07:002010-07-20T03:41:15.904-07:00This page is indeed massively useful. Used it several times and saved it in case it ever disappears! Thanks.<br /><br />Slight addition: I have to use fdisk to make the partition larger, otherwise my resize2fs reports that it&#39;s already max size.<br /><br />i.e. <br />1) create volume from snapshot<br />2) attach it<br />3) partition table still telling it to use smaller size so I fdisk it and delete + recreate partition at max size.<br />4) THEN do resize2fs.Spandexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00556151416922584710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202207999277431930.post-30076833043571428282010-02-06T04:52:50.878-08:002010-02-06T04:52:50.878-08:00Two notes<br /><br />1. When creating the snapshot, you use the volume initially created to backup the data. Shouldn&#39;t that be the volume attached to the ebs bootable image?<br /><br />2. there&#39;s one ec3-describe-snapshots command that should be ec2-describe-snapshotsJean-Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07034283384400157169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202207999277431930.post-87966439156396267832009-07-28T15:19:08.318-07:002009-07-28T15:19:08.318-07:00Thank you, this saved a ton of time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202207999277431930.post-13722520131856075862009-06-18T04:53:13.945-07:002009-06-18T04:53:13.945-07:00Thank you, it was useful.<br />I looked how to resize the file system after creating a new larger volume from a snapshot. resize2fs did the trick on my Fedora 8 instanceDavid Mailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05792512639005368356noreply@blogger.com
