Need assistance with fixing filesystem corruption (ext3-fs group descriptor corrupted, no inittab)
When I rebooted my system (RHEL 5.3 x86_64), I got the following error when it was booting up:
Code:
Mounting root filesystem. So to try and fix this, I booted from the OS disk and did a linux rescue. Here's some of the results of the commands I did: Code:
sh-3.2# lvm lvchange -ay /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Here's a screenshot of the output from fsck after it's done, notice it says 0 bad blocks but the system was modified:fsck results I then reboot but now I get the errors: Code:
Setting up new root fs Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Was the fsck I did initially the correct thing to do to fix that initial group descriptor error or did I make things worse? I really need to get this system up so any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

As I am continually warning on these fora, fsck is a filesystem integrity tool, not necessarily a data/file integrity tool. You didn't do anything wrong, but there is no way to know if any corruption (of data) occurs during fsck. Or to what. inittab may be the only thing affected - or not. In such cases I rebuild the system - either totally, or from a recent backup. |
