tcd@tcd-yjl:~$ fsck /media/tcd/Kindle
fsck from util-linux 2.37.2
e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /media/tcd/Kindle
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
Attached is the Gparted screen shot.
Maybe I should just wipe and reinstall the default Kindle OS and rebuild my ebook library which is not a big deal...
Thanks again,
Tom
