dosfsck fixes things for a while then seg faults :/
In case it's any help here is the output of gpart.linux
most of it meaningless to me
Begin scan...
Possible partition(DOS FAT), size(2039mb), offset(0mb)
Possible extended partition at offset(2039mb)
Possible partition(Linux ext2), size(4000mb), offset(2039mb)
Possible partition(Linux swap), size(133mb), offset(6040mb)
Possible partition(DOS FAT), size(1984mb), offset(6173mb)
Possible extended partition at offset(8158mb)
Possible partition(DOS FAT), size(1623mb), offset(8158mb)
End scan.
Checking partitions...
Partition(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)): primary
Partition(Linux ext2 filesystem): invalid logical
Partition(Linux swap or Solaris/x86): orphaned logical
Partition(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)): logical
Partition(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)): invalid
Ok.
Guessed primary partition table:
Primary partition(1)
type: 006(0x06)(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
size: 2039mb #s(4176837) s(63-4176899)
chs: (0/1/1)-(259/254/63)d (0/1/1)-(259/254/63)r
Primary partition(2)
type: 005(0x05)(Extended DOS)
size: 6118mb #s(12530700) s(4176900-16707599)
chs: (260/0/1)-(1023/254/63)d (260/0/1)-(1039/254/63)r
Primary partition(3)
type: 000(0x00)(unused)
size: 0mb #s(0) s(0-0)
chs: (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)d (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)r
Primary partition(4)
type: 000(0x00)(unused)
size: 0mb #s(0) s(0-0)
chs: (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)d (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)r
