Thread: Drive Problem Partition Name Misread

anyone have thought on this: have 500gb drive data, shows /dev/sda in top right corner of gparted. sata drive. in table below under partition shows /dev/sda1 error saying superblock problem.

drive seems working fine. i've looked @ tune2fs, e2fsck, , fdisk - no problems indicated.

here main point in gpart partition /dev/sda1, none of other apps can find sda1, see sda.

i'm in on head, appears gparted trying read partition isn't there, sda1 , giving error. entire drive 1 partition think sda, gparted isn't seeing.

why gparted getting sda1 rather sda? in fstab drives called uuid.

want add swap partition drive , gparted won't it, assume because of error.

"sda" isn't partition, it's name of device.

must have @ least 1 partition on device use it, , sda1 . no other program can mount "sda" either, partition "sda1" can mounted. programs reference disks , not partitions see "sda" .

have tried running e2fsck on /dev/sda1 ? (do while unmounted or severely corrupt data.)

type of partition this?

have checked s.m.a.r.t. status smartctl or gsmartcontrol ?
