similar to: Attempting To Recover, fsck infinite looping on me

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

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

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 there, I am very new in linux and met the filesystem problem as described in the following, I tried to use 'fsck' and tried to find some support documents but failed. Your hints and helps are very appreciated.

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? Best regards keld fsck /dev/hda6 fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) Warning... fsck.ext3 for device /dev/hda6 exited with signal 11. also From my dmesg: <1>general protection fault: e7a8 [#3] Modules linked in:

Hi, hoping that someone on this list can help me here is the Problem. After a crash it seems the journal could not be recovered. This is what mount gives: root@wuehlkiste:# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2, or too many mounted file systems and this is the corresponding logfile-entry: Nov 27 11:16:13 wuehlkiste kernel: attempt to

Hi - We have an ext3 file system which is 3.5TB in size (on top of lvm). Free are 172049011 out of 854473728 4096K blocks, and 396540654 out of 427245568 inodes. This is using Scientific Linux 4.4 (a RHEL clone). The filesystem consists of multiple backups created with rsync using --link-dest, which hard links files which haven't been modified to the previous copy. There are several hundred

Greetings! Need your help fellow penguins! Strange behavior with fsck.ext3: how to remove a long orphaned inode list? After copying data over from one old RAID to another new RAID with rsync, the dump command would not complete because of filesystem errors on the new RAID. So I ran fsck.ext3 with the -y option and it would just run in an infinite loop restarting itself and then trying to correct

Hello, I have 2 boxes with 1.5TB storage with ext3 fs, and the kernel is 2.6.11.8. I'm using E2fsprogs 1.37 for FS creation. And, Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) There are 2 scenarios: 1. All SATA drives, RAID5 2. All PATA drives, RAID5 and wrapped in log volumes. I'm having lots of issues with fsck. I did search, but somehow not getting the right information. needs_recovery

I have a project that disk imaging from a cd using isolinux and a dialog gui system, but some users want to setup systems to run automatically. Some can download the development kit, and built an image with a modified script, but others don't have the skills or resources. I've come up with a system that seems to work with both the isolinux.cfg or menu.lst with grub4dos and I believe

High all, In WinXP, I have created file "image.iso" using mkisofs, but unable to postprocess with the "isohybrid". I worked as follows: cd F:\syslinux-4.05\utils F:\syslinux-4.05\utils> isohybrid F:\image.iso and received >'isohybrid' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What next? Thanks in advance.

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.

I found a thread that has almost the exact same symptoms as me, but didn't seem to come to a resolution: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2004-December/msg00018.html I have an LVM(2) array that I've just lvextend'd and want to resize2fs, but I can't get through the e2fsck. I get these errors when fsck-ing: Group 3125's inode table at 102400545 conflicts with

Hello. I am having a problem with one CentOS 4 box I have installed. It worked perfectly for several days, was used as a gateway on my LAN. After having reached the limit of the disk size by copying stuff from a windows box to a samba shared drive on the centOS box, and after making a reboot, the server didn't come up anymore. Looking at it I was thrown to the repair console and when doing

I recently came across an enormous cluster of x86 clone machines running fedora core 1 (2.4.24) which have typically all intel or amd have VIA IDE chipsets. They frequently experience corrupted journals rendering the ext3 partition in read-only mode. More important than recovering the filesystem, I am interested in finding the root of the problem. The common hardware that all of these

I have an apple Xserve RAID attached to a Linux Box, serving one Raided LUN of 2500Gigs, it was functional until the box crashed. When I hard booted it, even though it mounted the FS, I've been unable to access it. Cd-ing to any of its directories gives "Input/Output error". The ls ?la on the FS shows "?" for every field with no permission information. The /var/log/messages

On a customer's machine running SuSE 9.2, the size of the occupied space on the harddisk is reported incorrectly by "df -h". After we noticed the problem, I rebooted the machine and had it checked by "e2fsck" (check forced with "tune2fs -C 40", we are not on location). Right after the reboot I proceeded as follows, but I could not find any information about

Hi. I'm attempting to setup a box here to be a file-server for all my data. I'm attempting to resize an ext3 partition to demonstrate this capability to myself before fully committing to this system as the primary data storage. I'm having some problems resizing an ext3 filesystem after I've resized the underlying logical volume. Following the ext3 resize, fsck spits out lots
