similar to: e2fsck Looping?

I posted this to the Fedora-list, but thought I might get some additional information here as well. I have a HD that refuses to mount with a 'bad magic number in super-block'. I'm running FedoraCore 6 x86_64. [root at moe ~]# fdisk -l /dev/hdc Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Hi all- I corrupted my filesystem by not doing a RTFM first... I got an automated email that the process monitoring the SMART data from my hard drive detected a bad sector. Not thinking (or RTFMing), I did a fsck on my partition- which is the main partition. Now it appears that I've ruined the superblock. I am running Fedora Core 6. I am booting off the Fedora Core 6 Rescue CD in

Hi, I've run many time e2fsck, but in a special dir ls tells me: ls: r?cksendung-wlan.dvi: No such file or directory ls: baf?g_r?ckmeldung.latex: No such file or directory ls: finpr?f.pdf: No such file or directory $ cat finpr?f.pdf cat: finpr?f.pdf: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden I don't know what to do? How can I find the failure? If I cat the files with debugfs, I see the

Can anyone point me in the right direction for correcting errors on an HD when using LVM? I've tried e2fsck and indicates bad block. I've tried with -b 8193, 16384, and 32768 and no good. I've found some info about reiserfsck on google, but this utility doesn't seem to be included in Centos4.3. I did find it on my old FC1 box. I am thinking now I really should have went with

When trying to do a yum update, I am told I need more space in /boot. When I check the contents of /boot (ls -l /boot), there are no files. If I do a df -h, there is no available space yet it shows that it has a lot of used space. The fstab shows the following: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /

I have been trying very hard to seek help with my very complex issue but so far none have been successful. So I would like to try this mailing list, maybe there are some experts who know what they're talking about. Please refer to my experts-exchange question, all the required information will be there. It is more practical to send you to the webpage than paste out what I've done.

Hi all I want to shrink one of my LVM based domU''s, but don''t quite know how to do it. I have searched the Wiki & HOWTO''s, and they all show you how expand / enlarge a LVM based domU, but not shrinking it. So, I stopped (destroyed) the domU, and then resized it as follows: lvresize /dev/data/cpanel1 -L10GB (It was 100GB), but when I a started it up again, I

Hi All, One of my servers upon a restart today comes up with an error checking filesystems: fsck.ext3: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/VolGroup-1/Logvol00. /dev/VolGroup-1/LogVol00. The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then

(sort-of xposted from linux-kernel) Hi, I am wondering how to interpret this error message, which popped up on a 2.4.26 SMP x86 box two days ago: EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck init_special_inode: bogus imode (37316) EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck init_special_inode: bogus imode (37316) EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck The problem is, the error message doesn't

Hi all, One of our Dell servers has failed badly, and one of the domU's has been corrupted in the process. It boots up to a point and then gives me a kernel panic: Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Activating

How do I mount a partition that is in an image file? I have a file called centos.img that has 3 partitions in the file. I need to copy data to the third partition on that image file. I have seen things about a loop back device (which is fine) but then it talked about an offset parameter and I dont know what that is or more importantly what number to use. I hope I'm on the right track. How

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

Hi This topic is perhaps not for this list, but it I'm running on a CentOS 4.4 and it seems that a lot of people here uses 3Ware and RAID volumes. I did a RAID migration on a 3Ware 9590SE-12, so that an exported disk grew from 700GB to 1400GB. The exported disk is managed by LVM. The problem now is that I don't really know what to do now to let LVM and my locigal volume to make use of

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.

We have CENTOS 5.5 run on DELL server.?? Due to power system crash, server been down and up. I would like use 'e2fsck" to check file systems. Does there has way to run "e2fsck" under following conditions: 1. file systems are all ext3 2. file systems must mount. 3. e2fsck only scan file system but NO modify Thanks.

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: ~:

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
