similar to: Retaining undelete data on ext3

Hello, We have run and stopped by chance command "fsck -y" on one of our raid disks (with ext3 file system). After that we have found that SOME files disappeared (they are not seen in the directories where they have been before). The data are extremely important and contain a lot of programs, scripts for some data analysis and very hard to recover by hands. I have run ''fsck

I have a damaged Ext3 filesystem which fsck has not been able to recover. If I try to mount it, I get a message like this in dmesg: EXT3-fs error (device sda1): ext3_free_blocks_sb: bit already cleared for block 2370866 If I try fsck on it, I get a series of messages like this: Inode bitmap for group 0 is not in group.

Hi! I have made some extensions to debugfs to undelete or recover files from a damaged ext3 file system. Salvage or undelete files of damaged ext2/ext3 file systems debugfs salvage command can be used to salvage files from a damaged ext3 or ext2 file system. The code is alpha, so use at your own risk. the usage is: salvage first-block count-blocks Salvage tries to salvage files found in

We are running a benchmark that does single threaded 512 KB writes to a LUN on a CLARiiON storage array. The dual Xeon host (Dell 2650) with 4 GB of memory runs RHEL 4U3 We measured the write bandwidth for writes to the block device corresponding to the lun (e.g. /dev/sdb), a file in an ext2 filesystem and to a file in an ext3 file system.

Hi I have written a small introduction to newbies in Danish on ssh and friends. Now some people are questioning my advice and I think they have a point. I am advocating people to use DSA-keys and a config file with this: Protocol 2 ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes Compression yes CompressionLevel 9 and running ssh-agent and ssh-add, and then loggin in without giving keys.

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 Bodo and Ted, Thank you both for your responses; they confirm what I thought might be the case. Knowing that I can try to proceed with your suggestions. I do have some followup questions for you: On Sun, Jun 01, 2014 at 09:05:09PM -0400, Theodore Ts'o wrote: > Unfortunately, there has been a huge number of bug fixes for ext4's > online resize since 2.6.32 and 1.42.11.

Let me preface this by saying "Yes, I know *nix filesystems don't need to worry about fragmentation". That said, is there a way to check the overall level of fragmentation of a live ext3 filesystem? I know about filefrag, but that's for specific files. And I think e2fsck tells you, but only if you take the filesystem offline for the scan. Is there anything that will give

Unfortunately, there has been a huge number of bug fixes for ext4's online resize since 2.6.32 and 1.42.11. It's quite possible that you hit one of them. > The 51.8% seems very suspicious to me.

Greetings ... I have been give the task of either finding a way to stop people from deleting files from our Samba network, or as I suggest that would be less problematic, would be to log deletion requests. I know of the "Samba Recycle Bin" which I will be implimenting with the Samba 2.2.5 release which is just round the corner, but I was hoping that I might be able to impliment a

Hello. After reading some mails from mailing list archives and other sources, ext3 seems to having troubles in deleting files w/o destroying the data neccessary to undelete them. Ok, I know what journaling means, and in any way, the ext3 fs driver needs to keep track of which blocks have actually been marked as being free. But now my question: Who say, that this information must be stored in

Hi, I need to understand and to calculate the offset of the beginning of a file within my partition which uses an ext3 filesystem. Can I use dumpe2fs to figure that out, if yes how? Sincerely, William Tambe

Hello (and Moin Moin) ;) I have currently a straith Problem ... I have our IMAP-Server migrated from an old cyrus the the current stable Version of dovecot. In the old configuration we organized many mails (e.g. root-Stuff) in Public Folders. They structure had nearly 5 folderlevels. After the complete migration an syncronize we switch complete to the dovecot setup. At this moment we have

A couple of years ago there was a discussion on lkml under the thread 'PATCH - ext2fs privacy (i.e. secure deletion) patch' about zapping deleted data in the filesystem as a security mechanism. The discussion wandered off into how 'chattr +s' could be implemented and whether encrypting filesystems wouldn't be a better solution to the problem. I've been maintaining a

It also gets updated if the file system syncfs(2) or sync(2) system call. But if you crash, any writes since

Hi I would like to sum a number of time series, some of them having NA's Standard action is here that if I sum a value with a NA, then the result is NA. I would like it to just keep the value. I then try to: a = NA; if (a == NA) { a = 0} just to try it out, but it says Error in if (a == NA) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed What is wrong, and can I do it smarter? I looked at

Hello ext3 list, I am having an odd issue with one of my filesystems, and I am hoping someone here can help out. Yes, I do have backups. :) But as is often the case, it's nice to avoid restoring from backup if possible. If there is a more appropriate place for this question please let me know. After quite a while between reboots, I saw a report on the console that the filesystem was
