Is my HD partition is failed or not? Is fsck command line is right one to help me?
Hello,
I performed some backups on a Ext3 partition that I access both with Windows Vista with Ext2fsd driver and with linux distro who come with my backup software (Acronis True Image Home 10). I got some errors message when I try to backup it. The error message I got is : Code:
Failed to backup file or folder 'E:\donnees\data'. Specified file does not exist. (0x40011) Tag = 0x8E859EE5CE9A23CC: Retry/Ignore/Cancel My first attempt was to check if the problem was the Ext2Fsd driver I use. I try to backup another Linux Ext3 partition data I have and I met no problem. Then, I made a surface test on my partition with Partition Table Doctor (a Windows program). It found no bad sector. Then, I attempted to check the integrity of my Linux partitions with Ubuntu command line. I check it with Code:
fsck.ext3 -pvf /dev/sdaX Code:
Non-contiguous files on /dev/sda3, /dev/sda4, /dev/sda5. I appreciate if someone can give some hints to understand fsck command output and tell me where I need to look for. Best regards |
Hard to answer without knowing what the context of the folder is. Is this a folder mounted in Windows and you're running the backup in Windows? Which file in particular does "not exist"? I personally would not rely on a Windows driver to access Linux partitions, I would use NTFS partitions and rely on Linux for access, I think it would be more foolproof.

i was under the impression that "Ext2fsd " was READ ONLY from windows
until Microsoft ACTIVELY supports non Microsoft partition formats ( do not hold your breath ) i would use a Microsoft patented format for Microsoft backups every major distro now has NTFS-3g installed and can read and write to the MS NTFS format as to partitioning save your cash$$$ Gparted a free tool is one of the BEST out there http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ |
