similar to: Help! I need to undelete files on EXT3

Hello everyone, I've just lost my whole EXT3 linux partition by what was probably a bug. For your reading pleasure, and in the hope there is enough information to fix this problem in the future, here the story of a violent ending: This tragic history starts actually on windows: MS Word had wiped out an important file on a floppy, and I got the task of retrieving what was possible. Using

Following the announcement on lkml, I have started using ext3 on one of my servers. Since the server in question is a farily security-sensitive box, my /usr partition is mounted read only except when I remount rw to install packages. I converted this partition to run ext3 with the mount options "nodev,ro,data=writeback,defaults" figuring that when I need to install new packages etc,

Suppose I have the latest and greatest e2fsprogs. >From reading the docs I understand that 1) boot ext3, clean umount - you can remount ext3 or ext2 2) boot ext3, unclean umount - you can remount ext3 - you can e2fsck and remount ext2 Does this mean that normal linux init script e2fsck will do it, in case fstab says ext2? Or you should make sure to run e2fsck by hand with -f? 3) boot

Dear all, I followed the instructions found on http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html to convert / on several of my boxes to ext3. Strange to me, on some boxes it perfectly worked while on others it didn't. One of the differences found is that on the ok-boxes mount reports: /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) /* Settings: cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / ext3

Can anyone comment on whether or not it is possible to successfully disable the journal of an ext3 root file system prior to reboot? My application is to try and make sure there is no journal prior to installing and rebooting into a system which does not support ext3. I know that as long as the root is cleanly remounted r/o with no journal updates pending, this will be compatible. I'm

Hi all, I am testing new kernel on a mips machine (64 bits for kernel, 32 bits userland) and I found a problem when mounting the root file system. It is an ext3 file system that is correctly mounted as read only. While booting the system remount the file system as read/write and keep starting all daemons. Moving from 2.6.26 to 2.6.30 kernel, I get this error while remounting the file system

I was fooled by a hard link trying to clean up disk space. How can I undelete many files?

Hi! I have made some extensions to debugfs to undelete or recover files from a damaged ext3 file system. Salvage or undelete files of damaged ext2/ext3 file systems debugfs salvage command can be used to salvage files from a damaged ext3 or ext2 file system. The code is alpha, so use at your own risk. the usage is: salvage first-block count-blocks Salvage tries to salvage files found in

Hi, After mounting -t ext2 an ext3 partition, working with, do I have to recreate .journal when I remount the partition as ext3 ? Thanks ! Liu

I want to convert all my NTFS partitions to ext3 since I'm no longer running Windows, at least on my main machine at home. I'm planning to tar the NTFS partitions to an existing ext3, reformat the partition as ext3 and untar it back. What is the best way to accomplish step two of this - reformatting the partition? I've only done this so far during the installation phase, and that

I am running postfix on RH machine. decided to upgrade one of my machines from 7.1 to 7.2 - performance drop of 75 percent !!!!! moved back to ext2(remount partition as ext2) - performance is back. on the 7.1 upgraded to ext3 (only the disks), rebooted - performance drop of 70 percent... used a 2.4.17 kernel compiled by myself - a little faster then the last RH kernel, but still runs at third

Hi everybody! I'm using LVM and ext3 and am very satisfied with it. But now I have the following problem: I have a filesystem on a LV which is in use - files are created, modified and so on. To do a backup I'd like to create a snapshot of this volume which gets backup'd and then dropped. # lvcreate -s -L 20M -n snapshot /dev/vg/data lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be

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

sorry... typo.... the problematic phone has the 192.168.0.13 the asterisk has 192.168.1.211 when i connect a snom phone on the cable that was in the soundstation 6000 before and configure the phone to use 192.168.0.13 it does register on the asterisk via 5060/UDP... it would be helpful if someone, that has a running soundstation ip 6000 could send the configuration... :-/ regards, yves Am

Hi, I just found out, I deleted an important file, which was (of course) just downloaded to the computer from the digital camera, and deleted there. So, no backups. But when I tried to find the deleted INODE with debugfs and lsdel It said "no files deleted". Is this the normal behaviour? Is there a possibility of getting the data back? The kernel I use is 2.2.17-6 from the RH

Hi, I discovered that SGI XFS for Linux har a utility called xfs_freeze, which freezes the filsystem and makes sure that the filesystem is consistant. It is a bit like a mount -o remount,ro but it does not fail when applications have open files. When we take snapshots of our XFS volume, we do "xfs_freeze -f /mnt/foo; lvcreate -s /dev/vg_foo/bar /dev/vg_foo/bar-snapshot;xfs_freeze -u
