Seems to be a bug in mke2fs on latest rootfs (9 replies)

So, 2x 1TB HDDs, both formatted by my Goflex Net. Both had errors trying to mount on my Ubuntu laptop. Tried the first 12 or so backup superblocks in the filesystem with e2fsck, but those all had identical issues. The problem seems to be that the filesystem size was 1 block bigger than the partition size.

Fortunately, I only had about 300 GB of data on the one drive, and nothing on the other. In addition, the mount and fsck commands are tolerant of the above issue on the Goflex Net, so it can mount drives formatted on both my Laptop and the GoFlex. The solution, then, was to reformat the already blank drive in Ubuntu, and then put it back into the GoFlex Net.

I will copy 'n' paste the the exact error in a moment, after I finish copying over my 300 GB. Might take a little while for that.
