I have a 1 TB ext3 filesystem mounted via iscsi on a redhat 9 system w/ kernel version - 2.4.20-30.9. I'm not sure when it happened, but today there appears to be about 7,000 files (600GB) missing. The output from df implies that the files are still there. It shows 861 GB utilized. But du shows only 300 GB of data. I'm sure that there are no processes holding onto deleted files because

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

Hello everybody, I am new to this list, so welcome everybody. Last 2 week I had two harddisk crashes with my ext2 file system. This is what sort of happed with both of the disk: I pluged in my USB to SATA converter in my harddisk that has an ext2 filesystem. I mounted the partition, went to a directory that had a DVD image. I mounted the dvd image in the same directory and started watching the

Hi, One of my shared volumes crashed the other day on a RH-7.2, 2.4.9-31 system. These are the first errors in the log: kernel: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #2424833: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=2553887680, rec_len=0, name_len=0 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,9)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #2424833: rec_len is

For a while now, I've been receiving complaints from users who have been using BackupPC, or some other equivalent backup progam which functions by using hard links to create incremental backups. (There may be some people who are using rsync to do the same thing; if you know of other such backup programs with such properties, please let me know.) BackupPC works by creating hard link trees, so

Hi list this is actually a problem on a debian system but I thought you might be interested to hear of it and perhaps can offer some help. I have a woody box (dell pe750, dual cpu) running a kernel from backports.org (debian 'testing' packages built on a 'stable' box). The kernel version is 2.6.7-1.backports.org.1. This host is hooked up to an Apple Xserve RAID with a 2.3Tbyte

Hi, yesterday I ran e2fsck -n on a mounted file system and got: /dev/sdb1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. According to Ted, the lines that followed were not to be trusted due to the fact that the file system was mounted. But this error statement suggests to run a check with the fs unmounted. Today, we scheduled a downtime and ran the check. It came of completely clean: ~:

I've run ext3 filesystems for the last few years and I've never seen this question answered..... If a system shutsdown hard, even with journaling is it at all necessary to run e2fsck? Just curious.... Thanks -- Sam Williams samurai at acm.org +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +"It is easy to be

hi, i have a tricky situation here and and don't know where to start with the solution. i happened to set up a linux system, but i had to install the base system on another machine. i used e2fsprogs 1.30-WIP (30-Sep-2002) for this. now the machine is up and running, but i have to use e2fsprogs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002). it's a debian system and i wanted to stay sane & stable, hence using

Heh, I like your understatement. :) I think this helps answer part of my questions in my second email: I should probably try to preserve changes from last backup before getting too deep into a tricky e2fsck. At one point the fs was still mountable, so I

e2fsck returns 1 in case of "file system errors corrected". We treat it as success in normal e2fsck, but fail if e2fsck is run by resize2fs.

Suppose I have the latest and greatest e2fsprogs. >From reading the docs I understand that 1) boot ext3, clean umount - you can remount ext3 or ext2 2) boot ext3, unclean umount - you can remount ext3 - you can e2fsck and remount ext2 Does this mean that normal linux init script e2fsck will do it, in case fstab says ext2? Or you should make sure to run e2fsck by hand with -f? 3) boot

Hi, I'm on kernel 2.14.13-ac8 running Redhat 7.1. I've successfully converted all my file system to ext3 and is working fine for a couple of weeks. However, I did a silly thing when I e2fsck (version 1.23) an ext3 /home partiction without umounting it. Now, I believe my partiton super-block is corrupted and the system wasn't able to mount /home. I tried as suggested to do a e2fsck -b

Dear Ted, I upgraded e2fsprogs and util-linux to the latest versions, as per the instructions on the "ext3 for 2.4" page, to make the switching between ext2-only and ext3-enabled kernels seamless. Now that if the filesystems have not been unmounted cleanly, due to a power failure for example, "fsck -A -a" cannot continue after checking the root filesystem on reboot, issuing
