I’m getting this error suddenly on my external harddisk.
An error occurred while accessing ‘Akari’, the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdg1 at /run/media/daaishi/Akari1: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
I don’t really remember what fs type it is but I’m sure it was either ntfs or btrfs, one or the other.
It used to work the other day when I backed up some of my files.
Suddenly, it doesn’t let me mount the harddisk.
Checking Partition Manager, it still has more than 1TB of free space.
Am I screwed?
Searching around, I don’t want to try using mkfs because it would erase the data it has.
I tried using these commands and gave me the same error:
[daaishi@ayumin ~]$ sudo mount -t btrfs /dev/sdg1 /run/media/daaishi/Akari mount: /run/media/daaishi/Akari: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. [daaishi@ayumin ~]$ sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdg1 /run/media/daaishi/Akari mount: /run/media/daaishi/Akari: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
When I tried using NTFS:
[daaishi@ayumin ~]$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdg1 /run/media/daaishi/Akari NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdg1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdg1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
Is there anything I can do to still be able to get my data or better yet, let it be mounted and be used again?
I tried now fsck:
[daaishi@ayumin ~]$ sudo fsck /dev/sdg1 fsck from util-linux 2.36.1 If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand 'check'.
