Hi

After accidental HD drive unplug (power cord) the router wont do any operation on the hdd. Cant fdisk  /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc nor anything.
ls just return that the 'disc' is there ? Rebooted the router ofcourse..
HDD was doing as swap /opt installation for torrent client - transmission and a samba server.


root@OpenWrt:/etc/modules.d# fdisk /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

Unable to open /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

I'm sorry to say this, But i had about the same problem and found out that my partition table was corrupted....
I used testdisk to manualy enter the partition table, but the file system had errors so i could not recover all data.
But i managed to restore most. I had to format the disk to get it working properly again.

The discussion might have continued from here.
