I've had this 1 TB drive for about 1 year and have been using it succesfully for backups of my anf my wife's systems and suddenly yesterday morning I was unable to mount it. Neither fdisk nor gparted can see it but lsusb can:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bc2:ab26 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Slim Portable Drive 1 TB
On trying to mount I get this error message:
mount: /backupdev: cannot read the superblock on /dev/sdc1
Is the drive a brick or can I perhaps regenerate the superblock somehow?
Run "smartctl --all /dev/sdc" and see what it reports.
