Ext3 journal corruption?
Hi there
My partition, /dev/hdb1 is acting very weird atm. Whenever, I try to mount it gives the following error: Quote:

An option might be to remove the journal, however, tune2fs fails like this: Quote:
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm really stuck here (and in risk of loosing not-backedup data, since a backup failed) |
as i can see from your profile u r using fc-4
so i suggest u to boot using a rescue cd once u r logged in as root u must unmount /dev/sdb1 then u must do a file system check u can use the following command #fschk im not too sure abt the command but yes the procedure is the same.... incase of any error please log it and inform in your post |
Yes, I am using Fedora Core 4, with kernel 2.6.13
I'm not using any type of RAID, so by /dev/sdb1 I suppose you mean /dev/hdb1. But booting from a rescue cd shouldn't make any difference. /dev/hdb1 is normally mounted as /home/arkanoid/media, and has been umounted for this entire process (as written, my problem is that I can't mount it). The systems works perfect without the drive, since it doesn't contain any system-critical files. Oh, and fsck is equivalent with e2fsck (i.e. gives the same error, since it's the same software afaik) |
Perhaps you could try to mount the partition as ext2, then it ignores the journal.

Of course :rolleyes: That did the trick... or, almost:
All directories except one (and lost+found), are gone. I can only see the files, that is in the main directory (now: /home/arkanoid/media), but according to df, the files and dirs must exist since there would be a lot of free space (which there aren't) otherwise. For your convenience, or annoyance ;), here's the first part of the output from dumpe2fs: Code:
Filesystem volume name: <none> Code:
[root@arwen hb01]# du -h /home/arkanoid/media |
as a general query does fc-4 support resirfs filesystem?

So it's possible to use, I suppose, but I haven't tried |
I dont recommend you reiserfs, I had big problems with it, a simple resize killed my partition because the reiserfs version on the computer and the rescue cd was not exactly the same.

I've come to the conclusion, with help from a friend, that the pointers might be fucked-up because the resizing meddled with som inodes. I have absolutely no idea how to fix this, but I'm still looking for an answer. |
reisrfs is a robust filesys ...however as i said runa fscheck..using your rescue cd..it will resolve your probs...
i used to face this prob when i used to use ext3..i did the same thing...but the day i started using reisrfs no such probs |
running fsck from a reszue cd didn't mak any difference (as I guessed :))
So I guess the data is definitely lost - I'll just start over |
