openbsd Bad superblock

mullog · 09-22-2004, 11:22 AM

Hi,

I'm using openbsd-3.5-release and it was working great until the last day when i got this message right before it went single user mode: "Bad superblock:values in superblock disagree with those in first alternate" and "/dev/rwd1g:unexpected consistensy;run fsck_ffs manually".
I have ran fsck_ffs but it doesn't solve the problem.
I really need to work on bsd and don't know where to begin on solving this problem (goggling didn't help), so I ask for your help now.

Thanks

You should be able to run
# fsck -b <alternative superblock>
where <alternative superblock> is the number of where the next alternative is stored. This is exactly why multiple copies of the superblock are written to a file system when it's created with newfs.

I already did that but it didn't solve the problem.
I have removed /dev/wd1g from fstab temporarily to be able to boot in the system, but I would llike to solve this as fast as i can. As I don't understand much yet about this I am open to any solution that doesn-t blow the rest of the system. As for that partition, could I do something to solve the issue?
