We have a script that adds corruption to ext2/3/4 filesystems and runs e2fsck on it. It definitely could be improved, but it still catches some occasional errors: http://git.whamcloud.com/?p=tools/e2fsprogs.git;a=commit;h=aee44c669bebe29bfdb8a1c86da443234f8bc257 It tries to format the filesystem with different features and options, then adds corruption from both random data and copying parts of

Hi - I'm searching for file system corruption tool, say it inject disk-errors like multiply owned blocks etc. Later an integrity scan process (like e2fsck) will verify on-disk layout and fix these errors. I'd like to read/understand such tools before writing one for an proprietary on-disk file system. Do we have such tools for ext{2,3,4}fs ? Thanks for any help or pointers! -- ----

Hi - Updated my old project named "ext3carve" and renamed it as "extcarve" . It uses libext2fs. (To be precise,re-uses on 'debugfs' command's "dump_unused" feature) In summary,the tool will do the following - It will scan the linux machine ,for unused/deleted blocks and search for magic signatures. If it finds valid signature (both header and footer) It

Hi, I am writing a piece of code to open a raw image file of a virtual machine which has ubuntu installed in it. The virtual disk is formatted using MBR partitioning method and has 3 primary and 1 extended partition.

Trying to implement expire plugin. expire-tool works fine. This delete expunged messages but not all of them. I have duplicate messages in appropriate folder. These messages are from expanding postfix aliases (e.g. postmaster@, hostmaster@, abuse@ etc. points to same mailbox and spam often sent to all of them. If duplicate message is received only one entry in dovecot-uidlist is created and only

Hi, In order to periodically deal with corrupted index files in Dovecot, we routinely will remove a users .imap folder in order to have the indexes rebuild. This hasn't ever caused a problem previously. However, removing the user's index files seems to break the ability of the expire plugin to update the expire stamp correctly, or expunge mail from the user folder. This seems logical,

Expire plugin / expire-tool seems annoyingly inflexible currently, so I was thinking about a more generic redesign: The expire plugin keeps track of the oldest message in configured mailboxes. Its only configuration is the list of tracked mailboxes. There's no configuration like what the expire timeouts are or anything. There will be a new doveadm command: doveadm expunge [-u user | -A]

Hi folks, when I run expire-tool, I often see messages like the following: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool Info: user/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Fri May 22 17:42:23 2009 the server's dovecot.conf contains the following line: expire = Trash 2 Junk 7 */News 30 */Reports 7 >From what I observe, an error of "expire time in future" in one

Hi! Here is the problem: passdb: daniell:*::::::user=daniell2 userdb: daniell2::uid:gid:gecos:home:: dovecot.conf: plugin { expire = SA.* 1 # (There are SA.HAM and SA.SPAM directories) } When copying a message to eg. the SA.HAM directory, then dovecot inserts this into my expires table: dovecot=# select * from expires ; username | mailbox | expire_stamp

Hi, I try to get expire working, with the BDB backend and mbox mailboxes. If I try to invoke the expire-tool like /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test I get [root at m ~]# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected Hmm.

Hi, I'm having some trouble getting the expire plugin to work, and I'm not sure where to turn for troubleshooting. This is on 1.2rc3. To my dovecot.conf, I've added: mail_plugins = expire under the protocol imap and lda sections. I also added: dict { expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf } plugin { expire = Trash 30 Trash/* 30 Spam 30 expire_dict =
