I’m once again asking for your support. Yesterday I had a power outage while moving a folder from my external drive to my secondary hard disk. I was booted into emergency mode, but modified my secondary disk out of my /etc/fstab file and managed to boot fine into my system. I am however having trouble with mounting my secondary drive now.
Dolphin throws:
An error occurred while accessing 'Lageret', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /run/media/oelholm/Lageret: Unknown error when mounting /dev/sdb2
fdisk -l tells me:

sudo fsck /dev/sdb
fsck from util-linux 2.36.1
e2fsck 1.46.0 (29-Jan-2020)

fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb
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>
/dev/sdb contains `DOS/MBR boot sector MS-MBR Windows 7 english at offset 0x163 "Invalid partition table" at offset 0x17b "Error loading operating system" at offset 0x19a "Missing operating system"; partition 1 : ID=0xee, start-CHS (0x0,0,2), end-CHS (0x0,254,63), startsector 1, 4294967295 sectors' data
If it is formatted by Windows, I think you should use Windows tools.
And for the future, there are UPS devices available for about 100 euros and more.
UPS devices may really help on power outages, you have some time to properly shut down your systems.
Another reason a i hate Windows! Normally when i run into this kind of a problem on a Windows formatted drive i do a low level format on it to bring it back to life with a drive utility.
