I had to do an os reload (centos 4.3/cpanel) after being hacked. Now I am having a hard time mounting the backup drive.
root@server3 [~]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /backup
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
or too many mounted file systems
root@server3 [~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 299.9 GB, 299976622080 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36470 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 535 4192965 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda3 536 36470 288647887+ 83 Linux
Disk /dev/sdb: 146.6 GB, 146695782400 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17834 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
How can I do this? I usually would do this:
mkdir /backup
mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
root@server3 [~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
root@server3 [~]# mount /dev/sdb /backup
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
