similar to: ext3 filesystem lost.

Hello, I have a 1.3TB ext3 filesystem that has been in service for about 3 months. About 6 days ago the Emulex fibrechannel controller logged a SCSI error and the filesystem changed to RO. It appears that the filesystem instantly changes to RO and prevents the journal from working, therefore invalidating the filesystem. The filesystem was unmounted and a remount was attempted. The mount failed

Hi, I am trying out ext3 with an external journal (on a battery backed RAM card). I use data=journal, and sync nfs writes go nice and fast :-) But.. I had to power cycle it (buggy VM.. grumble :-) and now I cannot get my filesystem back. It is only a test filesystem so I don't need the data. But I want this to work before I put real data on it. If I "fsck /dev/md1", it

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

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

Our main NFS-server, running Debian Potato, died this morning whilst under quite heavy load - due to a runaway perl-script forking of some 200 instances of "/bin/cp" (the load was ~ 50). The server is running 2.2.19pre14 with ext3-0.0.6b. The server is running kernel-nfs. Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata() at transaction.c line 796: "bh->b_next_transaction ==

Hi, Using dumpe2fs I have been able to determine that all of my alternate ext3 superblocks are corrupted (not clean), and only the primary superblock is valid, i.e. mount works and the ordered journal is applied. When the primary superblock gets flakey, i.e. the ext_attr Filesystem feature goes missing - not sure why this occurs. At this point, the mount does not apply the journal using the

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. Millions of thanks, Annie The error message is (sorry for it's length, I just want to make it clear) ====================================================================

Hey guys, I need to use iostat to diagnose a disk latency problem we think we may be having. So if I have this disk partition: [root at uszmpdblp010la mysql]# df -h /mysql Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/MysqlVG-MysqlVol 9.9G 1.1G 8.4G 11% /mysql And I want to correlate that to the output of fdisk -l, so that I can feed the disk

Hi there, For years I've been using the ext3 file system without to think that it can ever gets broken so bad. This was until last week when a box that I have running Linux from a SanDisk CF went down. Since then I am struggling with this CF trying to understand what is happening. The CF is SanDisk ultra II 1GB. On this I have 4 partitions all of them with ext3: boot / swap

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've been trying to use fsck to recover a corrupted filesystem. It appears the original superblock is corrupted too, as it has an inode count of 0. When I start fsck with -b 32760, it uses the alternate superblock and proceeds. However, it restarts from the beginning a couple of times and after the second restart it doesn't use the alternate superblock, stopping instead as it can't

Had two scsi hard drives. One went bad. The bad one had lilo in the MBR. Removed the drive. Then used the Mandrake install cd to boot into rescue mode. Was able to mount all filesystems within rescue mode on remaining hard drive (HD went from sdb to sda). Only glitch was that I could not mount root filesystem as type ext3 -- had to mount as ext2. Modified the lilo.conf file and ran lilo with new

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 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

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

Hi Ted and all, I have a couple of questions near the end of this message, but first I have to describe my problem in some detail. The power failure on Thursday did something evil to my ext3 file system (box running RH9+patches, ext3, /dev/md0, raid5 driver, 400GB f/s using 3x200GB IDE drives and one hot-spare). The f/s got corrupt badly and the symptoms are very similar to what Eddy described
