Hi,

I am running Plesk v7.5.3 on a dedicated server operating Fedora Core 2. 2 days ago my server ground to a halt (I suspect because of a mismatch in the Plesk update) and has left it unusable. If I boot normally the server operates for a few mins then hangs, I don't have time to issue many commands but it doesn't appear to be cpu or memory related.

I have booted in recovery mode and I can SSH in fine. If I try and mount the hd partition with the plesk files using the following command

I get the following error

After looking in the syslog (/var/log/messages) I see the following line

Can anyone help me out? I am quite new to linux so if you require further info from logs can you explain how to access it.

When I can mount the drive I will backup my databases and rebuild but I really need this backup.

Thanks in advance

Dave

Resolved this after searching these great forums.

I ran e2fsck /dev/hda3 after reading up on the command. This cleared the journal and I was then able to mount.

Now I just have to back up my mysql databases - deep joy
