similar to: e2image, ext3 and nightly backups.

Hi, i have two twofold e2image related questions: 1) The man page mentions "cp (1)"'s --sparse=always option. I wonder if there are sparse aware tools which a) display the "real" amount of disk space occupied by a sparse file b) compress sparse files (other than compressing very thightly several GiB of zeros) 2) "E2fsck, mke2fs, etc.

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

I would like at this

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

Recently I've encountered a problem, and now I would preciate any help about being able to undelete files. My /var filestructured is mounted at /dev/hdc1 Part of my /etc/mtab looks like this: /dev/hdc1 /var ext3 rw 0 0 I'm using the e2fsprogs-1.23-2 package currently installed with Redhat 7.2 So, could anyone give me a hint of how things could be done to find deleted inodes? 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,

I know there is no straightforward way to recover deleted files on an ext3 file system, but is there any way to recover from an accidental mke2fs? -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines email: raines@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.

Hi, I sent a message to linux-kernel that describes exactly what I did to thourally fsck up my ext3, but now I'm trying to see if I can recover more than the ext3 kernel driver will let me get to... http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=106745677408810&w=2 Now that you've read that, and you haven't given up hope (stubbornly like me), then I'd like to know what I

I fsck'd it and it seems to be in pretty good shape. This is 2.4.18 - RH9. This machine can't handle file system problems. It has to stay RH9 but I could back out the journalling. The machine is only 3 months old. I don't think it's a hardware issue. No error messages and the symptom (aside from being unusable) was I/O error seeking <different blocks>. The fsck

I have a bit of a problem with the machine I use at home for backups. The main partition the backups reside on is a 4 disk RAID-5, totaling around 240GB. This has had some sort of corruption inflicted on it, in the content of the (at least) one directory, where there are now corrupted directory entries. This happened after I added an additional SiS PCI IDE controller card to the machine and put

Hi, I am using mechanize for a while now. Works great. But at the moment I have a small problem using it. The problematic file is attached. In that PHP-File you will see a formular, but mechanize doesn''t recognize it. Could somebody check this?

Hello: I've been using EXT3 for awhile with Slackware Linux. I setup a master drive and I've been cloning it to identical hard drives using a hardware cloning device. My new batch of hard drives are a different size, so I can't use the hardware cloner. Is there any way to move the drive to a new, larger drive short of re-installing everything from scratch to make a new master?

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

Having just spent a day trying to recover a deleted ext3 file for a friend, I'm wondering about this way of maintining undelete information in ext3, like is done for ext2: The last step in the deletion process would be to put back the (previously zeroed) block pointers. Since it gets logged to the journal, I _think_ that this should be safe. The worst that would happen is that, if the plug

Anyone had any experience getting puppet to update multiple OS''s on a single server? For example, for a set of blades Network booting from a primary server, the OS for each blade would be stored on the primary server. For example: /pxe/host1/<normal OS directory structure> /pxe/host2/<normal OS directory structure> ..... /pxe/hostn/<normal OS directory structure> Can

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

Hello All, I''m new to puppet, and I''d like to know: Is there a formal best practices guide for syncing { /etc/passwd, shadow, group, hosts} across clients from the master? For instance; is it a better practice to make a hard link to these files and share the link, as opposed to just sharing the files directly via a target in fileserver.conf? Inquiring minds want to know...

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.
