I had a motherboard start to throw hardware errors, so I pulled the disk with FC6 loaded and did away with the computer. I have installed the disk in a USB drive enclosure and am trying to mount it as a usb drive to pull the data off onto a new computer. I get the following error when mounting it: $ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /media/other mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so $ dmesg | tail sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdb sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 kjournald starting.

I could use some help in understanding how to get the drive mounted since it was originally an lvm2 volume with ext3 filesystem laid on top of it. Thanks in advance.
