similar to: problem using ext3 on root fs

Hi. I was using 2.4.10 with ext3 0.9.10 and thought it was time to use -ac for the first time because 2.4.12-ac3 includes 0.9.12. I don't know what I did to get the following messages, but in my last boot I removed /etc/mtab (at runtime) and made it a symlink to /proc/mounts. Not sure if a bad idea, but the only problem until I rebooted was the need of losetup -d. When I rebooted, all

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 In our office environment few servers mostly database servers and yesterday it happened for one application server(first time) the partion is getting "read only". I was checking the archives, found may be similar kind of issues in the 2007-July archives. But how it has been solved if someone describes me that will be really helpful. In our case, just at the problem started found

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

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

Dear Ted, I upgraded e2fsprogs and util-linux to the latest versions, as per the instructions on the "ext3 for 2.4" page, to make the switching between ext2-only and ext3-enabled kernels seamless. Now that if the filesystems have not been unmounted cleanly, due to a power failure for example, "fsck -A -a" cannot continue after checking the root filesystem on reboot, issuing

Hi Everyone, I have a server which has a raid array on /dev/sdb. After a crash I tried to mount the array and it failed with: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or other error dmesg reports: EXT3-fs: invalid journal inode. I tried to run e2fsck and it failed (The output can be seen below). If anyone has any suggestions on how I can restore

I have been playing with external journals some more and thought I should share some experiences. I am running 2.4.16 with the ext3 patches from Andrew Morton and e2fsprogs 1.25 I have an ext3fs filesystem on an 8 drive RAID5 array and place the journal on a partition of the mirrored pair that I boot off (all drives SCSI). I have tried pulling the power cable and seeing what happens. I finally

Hello all. I am currently using ext3 0.0.5d with great success. I am a bit conflicted about what to tell the system regarding my root filesystem however. I have my root filesystem configured and working as an ext3 filesystem, but it is/was not without some fraught. Using RedHat 7.0, if you simply create your journal on the root file- system, figure out it's inode number, issue a lilo -R

I decided that I would try out 2.5.44, and I noticed that htree was merged. If I don't do the tune2fs -O dir_index, and e2fsck -D, the (exisintg) fs won't use htree, right? Once I do the tune2fs and e2fsck, will I still be able to go back to a non-htree kernel if needed? (Will a htree-ized fs work on a non-htree kernel?) I'm guessing that it won't. I've seen a 2.4 htree

I tried it on loop. 1. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test -t ext3 2. cp files to 100% full 3. umount /mnt/test 4. fsck.ext3 -f /dev/loop0 Inode xxxxx, i_blocks is xxx, should be yyy. Fix?

Good morning, I try to use the last release of ext3 patch with a 2.4.10 linux kernel. I have two troubles : - when the kernel is booting, I receive : NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 208k freed Adding Swap: 128480k swap-space (priority -1) Adding Swap: 128480k swap-space (priority -2) Why my root

Greetings, I recently cpio-ed some user directories onto a new ext3 partion. After putting this file server's partition into production, I noticed a .journal file in the root directory of the partition dated well before the creation of this partition. I think this .journal file was copied over from the old filesystem and I am concerned that I over-wrote this current filesystem's

According to this: http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/ext3/why.html ext3 is forward and backward compatible with ext2... Any user who wishes to un-journal a file system can do so easily... I am assuming un-journalling is the equivalent of converting it to ext2. How do you do this? I haven't been able to find anything. The reason I want to do this is so I can modify my

Hi, I'm running a production server (Debian Sarge install) whose root filesystem (a software raid 1 array of 2 partitions of IDE drive) exhibited the following problem: Oct 28 06:00:06 server2 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Oct 28 06:00:06 server2 kernel: md2: rw=1, want=3050401328, limit=16353920 [...] a few of the above line snipped, want is different each time Oct 28

Hi, Today I replaced grub(1) with syslinux on my laptop, after rebooting to syslinux and selecting kernel I got massive freeze along with colorful output to screen - http://i.imgur.com/lFjFc.jpg I think I tried everything, even doing esc and writing after boot: /bzImage-3.1.0, after enter I had the same freeze with the same screen artefacts. How I installed extlinux: mkdir /boot/extlinux

Hi list this is actually a problem on a debian system but I thought you might be interested to hear of it and perhaps can offer some help. I have a woody box (dell pe750, dual cpu) running a kernel from backports.org (debian 'testing' packages built on a 'stable' box). The kernel version is 2.6.7-1.backports.org.1. This host is hooked up to an Apple Xserve RAID with a 2.3Tbyte

Hello, I've been trying to boot a VM with the rootfs being a 9P share from the host. The VM OS is centos 7. The OS boots but no services can work and it appears that the authentication system is broken. Now the funny thing is that booting the same OS on the same 9P share manually with Qemu works as expected with a fully functionnal OS... So I'm wondering what could libvirt do that render

My UPS failed and my server took an 'unscheduled outage' a few weeks ago. The only casualty appears to be a volume I used for backup. I usually maintain data on multiple hard disks, but in this case I errantly had some data (of marginal value) on this file system. At this point, the data is not worth enough for me to send the drive out for data recovery, but it's worth enough to
