[SOLVED] Unable to mount a slice

elarsen · 03-05-2011, 04:50 PM

Late last night I went to reboot the system, and hit hibernate or suspend by accident. Being impatient I cut the power off after under 1 minute. Now when I turn on the system. It is unable to mount a large slice that has jfs. When I went to do fsck on the partition. I get Error 2 while executing fsck.jfs. When I try to manually mount it. I get error occurred while mounting /storage. I am running ubuntu 10.10. The root partition is running Ext3.

Thanks!!

Slice like "partition" of *BSD (ufs file system)? Your post is not very clear (I suspect thus no reaction yet...). If you suspended to RAM your data are probably lost. Doesn't the fsck.jfs carry a "force repair" option and did you use that? Prior to trying that create an image of the damaged partition as a backup!

I am sorry I mean partition. I got into the *nix world with FreeBSD. When I run fsck I get:

fsck /dev/sda2
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
fsck: fsck.jfs: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.jfs for /dev/sda2

Is the "force repair" -a? The man does not say that, but says something along those lines. How would I go about creating an image of the damaged partition as a backup?

fsck fails because fsck.jfs is not installed. Install the jfsutils package and try again.

sudo apt-get install jfsutils

After installing the package do a "man jfsutils" and "man fsck" again to get the best and latest options

Regular fsck.jfs fixed the issue. Thought that the system installed the fsutils package automatically when I installed the jfs file system. Guess that would be a suggestion for all of Linux distributions. If they can do stuff like that. You can close this issue. Thank you for your time and knowladge.
