similar to: Problem in e2fsck ? read error in journal inode

I have been playing with external journals some more and thought I should share some experiences. I am running 2.4.16 with the ext3 patches from Andrew Morton and e2fsprogs 1.25 I have an ext3fs filesystem on an 8 drive RAID5 array and place the journal on a partition of the mirrored pair that I boot off (all drives SCSI). I have tried pulling the power cable and seeing what happens. I finally

Hi. I'm using Debian. Is this a Redhat-only list, or is it only hosted by RedHat? I recently changed my filing systems over to ext3, but deliberately left the forced boot check parameters alone so my system checks after 20 mounts. I notice that the fsck takes a good ten times longer than under ext2, to perform the cleanly unmounted check. (On the occasion where I did unmount dirtily, the

Hi I was running few tests on the Ext3 filesystem having an external journal; basically trying to check recovery in crash scenarios. I started with simple scripts doing some filesystem operations on the ext3 partition and crashed the system with a direct poweroff. On reboot, I also corrupted the journal device by "dd"ing it out with blocks of zeroes. Now, when I try to mount the

Hi I got a strange error, happening on two of my ext3 partitions. What can be wrong? And why does e2fsck error out, instead of displaying an error message?

Hi Everyone, I have a server which has a raid array on /dev/sdb. After a crash I tried to mount the array and it failed with: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or other error dmesg reports: EXT3-fs: invalid journal inode. I tried to run e2fsck and it failed (The output can be seen below). If anyone has any suggestions on how I can restore

I am using SuSE 7.3 compiled ext3 support into the kernel and installed it. All my partitions load up as ext3 except / . I ran tune2fs several times, still doesn't take on the / drive. Most recent dumpe2fs -h show no features on that drive=, I keep going around in circles, removing .journal from / and running tune2fs but it never works for / What am I doing wrong? ( thanks in advance)

Hi, all, I "found" a big bug either related with Linux Ext3 file system or "bin/ls" command. The problem is: File system is no more than 220GB, but "/bin/ls" reports holding >370GB data! The system is Redhat 8.0, with a Generic Kernel 2.4.20. Any suggestions are greately appreciated. more information can be available upon requests. The following is the

My UPS failed and my server took an 'unscheduled outage' a few weeks ago. The only casualty appears to be a volume I used for backup. I usually maintain data on multiple hard disks, but in this case I errantly had some data (of marginal value) on this file system. At this point, the data is not worth enough for me to send the drive out for data recovery, but it's worth enough to

Hello, I've got a problem that is not solved after an e2fsck. What happens is that the kernel (vanilla 2.6.12) does this: journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 1036 on hda6 Aborting journal on device hda6. ext3_abort called. The filesystem is mounted with errors=panic, so the system reboots. At boot-up an e2fsck is run on /dev/hda6. Sometimes it finds errors, sometimes not.

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.

Hi Ted and all, I have a couple of questions near the end of this message, but first I have to describe my problem in some detail. The power failure on Thursday did something evil to my ext3 file system (box running RH9+patches, ext3, /dev/md0, raid5 driver, 400GB f/s using 3x200GB IDE drives and one hot-spare). The f/s got corrupt badly and the symptoms are very similar to what Eddy described

SUMMARY We are getting many ``Free blocks count wrong for group'' errors when running e2fsck on a 245-GB ext3 filesystem. This is when the file system is cleanly unmounted on a relatively quiet system to do a resize. From reading other messages here, my suspicion is that this is because we have e2fsprogs 1.32. Questions: * Should we use e2fsck/e2fsprogs 1.36 and will that probably

Helping a friend fix a computer that was having severe, weird troubles. Reformatted (from XP) and installed Fedora. Install went ok, on first boot, however, filesystem was READONLY for some reason. Knew hard drive was suspect, so I e2fsck'd it over and over all night long, fall asleep next to the computer. This morning, Fedora boots fine, login not a problem, so I shut down and fsck it again,
