My secondary HD went out the other day. It started giving me I/O
errors, so I tried to fsck it, and it wouldn't even run because of the
errors. [c]fdisk won't even read the partition table.
Next, I tried rebooting with the force-check flag, and basically the
same thing happened - the errors were so bad that it killed makedev in
the middle of creating the nodes in /dev, causing a host of other
problems like not being able to ssh in or run X. I fixed these by
yanking the drive entirely.
The drive in question is a 120G Samsung. The data on it is not vital
(read, there are no backups), but it would be nice to be able to
recover it if possible. How should I begin to go about this?
