[LUG] 4kb HD Icon on Desktop?



Mandrake 10.1 Enterprise:A hard disk icon appeared on my desktop two days ago.

First,upon clicking the properties tab,kio_devices_mounthelper reported that it *appeared* to be a swap file of 3GB.Added "check device is mounted properly".

Today,accessing the properties tab invokes an error message,listing four possibilities:wrong fs type,bad option,bad superblock on /dev/sda10,or too many mounted file systems.

Also "calculate" now returns a size of 4kb.

SuSE 9.2 is installed on sda10.No problems aside from an intermittantly wobbly display.No errors,and I even ran the diagnostic tools on the installation DVD.

BIOS fine,DMI Pool never better,POST is perfect,RAID contollers happy as Larry...

Nothing to indicate that a disc is dead/has a lead unplugged..so,I'm wondering *why* the icon has suddenly appeared.
4kb sounds like a superblock,rather than a bloomin'great hard disk,anyway.


What do the Gods Of The Linux Universe think?

Meantime,I'll run some tests from Phrealon.

Thank you,

Sadie
