external hard drive giving me headaches! e2fsck

[TheBigAmbulance]

Yesterday I tried to mount my external Fantom 2Tb external hard drive. It gave me:

org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdi1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so

So I started doing and e2fsck with "e2fsck -y /dev/sdi1". Problem is, when I do it this way, I get this:

root@DP5-MARK6:/home/dpich# e2fsck -cc -y /dev/sdi1
e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 488380008 blocks
The physical size of the device is 244190638 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort? yes

root@DP5-MARK6:

So am I stuck propping up the y key to contine?

[EDIT] There are two 1Tb drives in a RAID1 configuration in this external device and is formated ext4.

You don't use fsck against the physical volume if you're using LVM - you run it against the logical volume. A little googling on lvm and fsck should get you where you need to be.

Good luck!
