[wplug] fsck.ext3 { repair found }

[Frank W. Holden Jr.]

Thanks to all that tried to help... The answers DID help me think this 
one out! I figured out how to get the drive working for now and to get 
my data off of it. The next thing is to REPLACE it so I don't have 
this problem again!!!

Answer to problem:

fdisk reported the wrong amount of cylinders - corrected
fsck.ext3 the drive using the second block to fix the first
created created the node needed to mount said drive in /dev
after several tries to mount, it mounted and now active

Now to get ALL the data off the drive onto MANY others! Then replace 
the drive...

Best to all!
