similar to: 135 GB ext3 on broken drive -- other possibilities than "e2fsck -y"?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I got an IDE-drive which decided to get broken. Part of the extended partition table was lost, but I was able to recover it, so I could reach the ext3 filesystem with a size of about 135 GB. I made a copy of it (luckily the ISP doesn't seem to need the broken drive urgently hehe) and ran fsck on that copy. The first time I ran fsck I

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

Hi folks -- My machine is a RHEL 3 with 2.4 kernel installed - with some large ext3 filesystems on drives connected internally ( >200G) Now, When this system crashed (for eg:- a CPU panic /hardware error ) - e2fsck on this filesystem seems to be taking a long time to return thereby adding to the overall downtime of this system. could there be any workarounds for my issue? say for

I just came back after being out for the evening. Apparently there was a power failure long enough to discharge the UPS completely on my Linux box. After powering back up, I received notice that the / filesystem needed "manual fsck"ing. I booted off CD and attempted to fsck. Unfortunately, everything I've tried has proved futile and I'm _desperate_ for some help. I've

Hi! I was testing 2.6.0-test5, but got lots of journal aborted errors. Then I Sysrq-s/u/b and wanted to boot 2.4.23-pre3 or 2.4.22, but ext3 error: cannot find root fs cannot mount because of unsupported optional feature (4) after trying to mount it with ext2 (rootfstype=ext2, not working) I rebooted again into 2.4.22, this time there was just severe fs corrpution, illegal blocks, inodes,

Hi, It seems one of my computers died last night and it looks like hard disk trouble. I took the disk out and attached to another system and tried to mount the partition, but the mount doesn't complete and just hangs (process is also unkillable - I had to reboot). So, I tried to run "fsck -fccp /dev/sda2" but the command just hangs after printing "/dev/sda2: recovering

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

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

I met a power fail all sub-folders an files in /home folder are disappear. and fsck continue to report error in the filesystem. however, I can see any files and folder in debugfs and can rdump them to another folder and format ... and reinstall so bad!!! Question: Can I have a simple way to recover the data without reinstall and format Thanks Mike Lee

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

fsck (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1) returns an exit code 127 on an ext3 file system when run from a shellscript started by cron. Here is the pertinent part of the script: ... fsck -p /dev/${BK_SLICE} 1>/dev/null 2>&1 STATUS=$? if [ ${STATUS} -ne "0" ] then echo "${MIR_PID}: file system check of /dev/${BK_SLICE} failed, status = ${STATUS}" >>${LOG}

I have a large (1.5TB) partition with millions of files on it. e2fsck has been running nearly 12 hours and is still on "Checking directory structure".

I have been looking at integrating the e2image tool into my nightly backup routines for my systems, to improve the odds that I can get data back if something disastrous happens to my file system. I have a couple of questions about this, though, to work out if this is actually worth doing. Is e2image worth running if the file system is online and in use, under the 2.6 series kernels, as part of

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.

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
