I have two ext partition on my linuxOne for /And one for /homeI wanted to reduce (with this method) the home partition (which was only something like 10% filled) to create a new partition for Windows.Unfortunately it failed and when I wanted to reboot, linux went in rescue mode, which could have been helpfull unless this rescue mode was not working (It showed two password prompt, and then was working like there was two command prompt at the same time [I had to double every letter to make a command like : ccwwdd //eettcc], so not really doable).My question is : Can I boot to this linux anyway without going in rescue mode? Like for example disabling this partition (/etc/fstab?).Also is it possible to repair this partition ? (When I try to mount it with Ext2Fs it says RAW in partition type)Here is the parted info : Model: ATA ST9640320AS (scsi)Disk /dev/sda: 640GBSector size (logical/physical): 512B/512BPartition Table: msdosNumber  Start   End    Size    Type      File system     Flags 1      1049kB  100GB  100GB   primary   ext4 2      100GB   420GB  320GB   extended 5      100GB   110GB  9999MB  logical   linux-swap(v1) 6      110GB   420GB  310GB   logical 3      420GB   420GB  367MB   primary   ntfs            boot 4      420GB   640GB  220GB   primary   ntfsI think the /home partition is /dev/sda6Fsck output :ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda6e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-blockfsck.ext4: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda6The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4filesystem.
