...ta. Can someone provide syntax on how I can do this? FYI, I've tried the following utilities: - e2fsck (with every flag combination imaginable) - e2salvage - Tried to copy the partition to another via dd if=/dev/hdb2 of=/dev/hda2 bs=512 conv=noerror,sync,notrunc - Tried to copy partition with dd_rescue, and the verbose output shows that when it reaches certain positions it gets an "Input/output error" I ran dd_rescue -rfv /dev/hdb2 out then it stopped at position 37879900 so I "continued" from the next partition dd_rescue -rfv -s 37879899 /dev/hdb2 out2 - sleuthkit - I was abl...

...0). Archives created using tar -cf /dev/nst0. ?The tapes were fine when the archives were created (tested by extracting random sample files from them) but something went wrong in storage (no physical damage). Now a few LTO4 tapes are giving I/O errors when I try to extract data from them. ? Tried dd_rescue and that too fails giving ?I/O errors. I am wondering if there are any service providers, to extract the data out of the magnetic tapes in a fashion similar to "dead" hard disks. ? Please share info if you know of any such provider. Thanks, -- Arun Khan

...o folks, I had an ext3 filesystem mounted as the root of a Linux MOO server. Unfortunately, the filesystem was on one of the infamous DTLA-3070xx drives - and the drive decided to fail at the worst moment it possibly could, trashing the filesystem fairly well. The situation is as follows: I used dd_rescue to create an image of what is left of the filesystem, but I ended up with some 65MB of 'holes' in the image. Among the 'holes' is the sector that hosts a directory, /home/weyrmount/MOO (indeed, on the original drive, trying to CD into that gives IO Error) That directory containe...

Folks I posted this question on (OpenSolaris - Help) without any replies http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=129436&tstart=0 and am re-posting here in the hope someone can help ... I have updated the wording a little too (in an attempt to clarify) I currently use OpenSolaris on a Toshiba M10 laptop. One morning the system wouldn''t boot OpenSolaris 2009.06 (it was simply

Hi there, For years I've been using the ext3 file system without to think that it can ever gets broken so bad. This was until last week when a box that I have running Linux from a SanDisk CF went down. Since then I am struggling with this CF trying to understand what is happening. The CF is SanDisk ultra II 1GB. On this I have 4 partitions all of them with ext3: boot / swap

Hi I'm experiencing some problems on a harddisk (it has crashed for no known reason), and in pursuit of getting some of the data out of the disk I'm learning to use the e2fs progs package. Origianlly I used version 1.38, but after experiencing segfaults in e2fsck -which now is solved, I upgraded to 1.39, but now I have hit another problem (on another partition): The partition was

...092608 count=353 Note that while dd can use the abbreviation 'k' you would not want to use that here since 2 is not one of the factors of your count. A roughly 9MB blocksize is going to be loads faster than 512, but still manageable. Or you could make it easy on yourself and use either dd_rescue or ddrescue. When I was working on the ODROID C2 stuff last year I built ddrescue from source RPM early on, before it got built as part of the EPEL aarch64 stuff. Either of these two will figure out the optimum blocksize for you for best performance, and you get progress indications without...

...at's a "hard" fail, and what's still left to try. You can stop and restart (it'll pick up where it left off), and force it to retry stuff (sometimes, letting a drive cool off will allow a few more bad blocks to be read). Not to be confused with the confusingly similarly named dd_rescue which doesn't have half the features or abilities.

Hi, It seems one of my computers died last night and it looks like hard disk trouble. I took the disk out and attached to another system and tried to mount the partition, but the mount doesn't complete and just hangs (process is also unkillable - I had to reboot). So, I tried to run "fsck -fccp /dev/sda2" but the command just hangs after printing "/dev/sda2: recovering

Hello, After some fiddling with the server now I have broken RAID1 with the "current" mirror on the disk with few unreadable sectors. If I try to re-add other disk to the mirror resync goes till those bad sectors and then starts from the beginning. And so on. Is it possible to somehow force resync to continue even after errors? Manual resync with dd would require a bit too long

...but have now freed up some space. Today when i was copying a VM image i got an I/O error. Turns out that two of my VM images had checksum errors in them. A full scrub run showed that these were the only errors on the entire disk. Logs attached. I was able to copy the win7 image from the log with dd_rescue, but it had (as can be seen from the log) 8 checksum failures of 4k blocks at different places in the file. I''ve now got a working system again as no other files were affected. However, this doesn''t seem like a hardware error to me, so I''m worried that there is some unde...

Just look at this. I thought all the restarting resilver bugs were fixed, but it looks like something odd is still happening at the start: Status immediately after starting resilver: # zpool status pool: rc-pool state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected. action: Determine

I used ddrescue to copy /dev/md1 to a disk of sufficient size, and re-ran e2fsck, and still get the error message that there's no root file system (I've tried most every superblock): # fsck -y -b 7962624 /dev/sdf fsck 1.36 (05-Feb-2005) e2fsck 1.36 (05-Feb-2005) Superblock has a bad ext3 journal (inode 8).

I am getting a few bad sector messages in my /var/log/messages. I have read where an "fsck -c -c /dev/hda" may be what I need. Before I go doing such things I am looking for confirmation that that is what I should do. Anyone please comment on how to tell linux to not use sectors in my disk. This is stright IDE no raid not nothing at this point /dev/hda is all. Thanks, jerry

a hd in my server failed. I noticed when I went to SSH in and get a copy of some files in /var/www/html I tried to tar the files and I was told No, read-only file system. I restarted and tried running FSCK manually (without -a or -p) and I get inode errors, short reads, etc. I tried booting to my CentOS 53 install DVD. I do linux rescue and I get to where it wants to know where CentOS images

I have a tested copy of EL6 that I would like to duplicate to a number of similar servers, but can't seem to find a sane howto on the subject. TLDP's "Hard disk upgrade howto" is embarrassingly antiquated: when's the last time you saw LILO? What's the recommended procedure for doing an HDD copy/upgrade from one disk to another? Is there a nice, detailed howto that
