Topic: Wrong disk size - cant mount
My appologies if this is not the right place to ask a question like this but I can't find anyother forum or site that would help.
My disk is 1TB but suddenly I cant mount it anymore. It looks like it is only 512B
the /dev/sdb1 does not exists in /dev so I cannot mount it and ofcourse if I do
sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb1
i get
mount: /dev/sdb: can't read superblock
# sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
Command (m for help): p
