Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure I was making my first system update yesterday, and had to restart after 6 hours of downloading, while the indication bar was about 60%.
Today, I was booting into Centos 5.1 and GRUB gave me this screen:
root (hd0.0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83

I have two computers, a HP DX2250 with dual SATA drives and a HP D530 with 1 EIDE drive and 1 SATA drive. On each computer Windows XP Pro is installed on the first drive and Fedora is installed on the second drive. I have had no problems installing and running Fedora 15 on the the DX2250.
My persistent problem lies with the D530. I have installed Fedora 15 on the SATA drive several times. I used the Fedora live cd and I have used PreUpgrade. Every install results in the Error 16: message occurring during boot and ending with a Grub prompt. I have even unplugged the EIDE drive during Fedora boot and still get the problem. I might also add: the machine hard drive boot is controlled via F10 and changing the drive controller order. I have installed and used Fedora on both machines from Fedora 11 thru Fedora 14 with no problems. This error is new with Fedora 15. My next attempt is to install Fedora 15 on the SATA drive with the EIDE drive unplugged. All ideas or SWAG guesses are welcome.

I can't boot the 2.6.35-22 kernel, since I get the "Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure" every time. However, the previous kernel I have installed, 2.6.32-25, is booting without a problem, so I'm forced to use that until this problem is solved. What can I do?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a LiveUSB of CentOS 5.5, so I decided the install it.With no installer,I just copied the files to my hard drive.his was in a multi boot with Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.10, and FreeDOS.I updated GRUB2 and it detected CentOS. I loaded my entry and it failed to mount the root filesystem.I took the initrd0 file from the LiveUSB syslinux folder and added that ramdisk to the entry. Now it finds the root filesystem (/dev/sda9 as Ext3).But it fails shortly after loading /sbin/init. It talks about an init error where it says "File not found!!!".The previous lines involved umounting old filesystems, like /dev.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux and not sure how to explain what I want to do, but I will give it a try. I have a system running CentOS 5.x on a system the is dying. Is there an easy way to migrate the system over to a brand new system that I recently purchased? I only have / and swap partitions, so nothing fancy; however, I have read that Linux is nothing like Windows when it comes to applications, and I could simply drag and drop files on the new server; however, I suspect that there is more involved than that. I hope I can just move the files over, and the system will boot; however, I am worried about new hardware on the new system. I am looking for recommendations to this issue. I am not sure if I have described it correctly; however, just point anything out that I need to change.

why this error is coming ...?
Kindly take a look at the code below :
Code:

why i am getting this error. I know the error is occuring because i have assigned values to obj.i and obj.j outside main(). But i want to know why do that result in an error. From my part i have created an object 'obj' of stucture 'test' and assigned values to its variables.
Summary of issue: EXT4 filesystem won't mount--with error = mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'. Is no ext4 in kernel the issue? Or is something corrupted?Really perplexed by this. I updated Centos 5.5 to 5.6 to get ext4 (5.6 is supposed to have full support of ext4). I built several arrays and put the ext4 filesystem on them. All went well until I tried to mount them. BTW, this array (below) is set up as a RAID6 using partition 1 of #8 2TB drives.Bear with me here; just trying to be complete and not waste your time.
Attempting to mount give this:[root]# mount -v /dev/md1 /asc/array1mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'Note: it does "fake" mount with ption (which apparently does everything except the system call):[root]# mount -f -v /dev/md1/dev/md1 on /asc/array1 type ext4 (rw,grpquota,usrquote)e2fsprogs:Package e2fsprogs-1.39-23.el5_5.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version (for Centos 5.6; CentOS 6x uses the 1.41...)
I am very new to linux, and I have a question regarding the filesystem check (fsck). The power recently went out and when I tried to restart linux the following error appears:
*/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced it then goes on to say..
*An error occured during the file system check. Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) I wasn't sure what to do, but checked some other online forums and they suggested running fsck manually - so I typed in the root password - and used the command, "fsck -A -V ; echo == $? ==" it then gave the following message
*WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage
*Would you like to continue (y/n)
Again, I wasn't sure what to do so i just checked no. I then manually turned off the computer and was prompted at the beginning to press Alt-3. I was brought to another screen and it informed me one of the drives was degraded and suggested rebuilding the array. I tried doing this, but it still brings me back to the original error of, "/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced," and the process continues.
Also, when I tried to rebuild the array, I didn't backup any of the data on our home directory before doing this (which was probably a big mistake). After being prompted to type the root password, I was able to give the ls command and look at all the directories...the home directory where our data was stored was empty and I am afraid I may have lost some information. Is there a possibility that data was lost when I was trying to rebuild using the old drives?
I have 64bit install with CentOS release 5.3 (Final)It's been stable for about six months. What happened a while ago is really weird, I haven't messed with anything lately but the entire /home filesystem became read-only. Can't write, can't delete to anything on /home. The other filesystems are fine. I am root, and the permissions look normal. My directories and files are writable and readable.
root@atlanta [/home]# touch foo.txt
touch: cannot touch `foo.txt': Read-only file system

I have installed Centos 5.5 running in VMware on my windows PC. My PC is part of a network which connects to a Linux Fileshare system. I am wanting to connect to the existing Linux fileshare from centos. The know the fileshare is NFS and I know the IP address and directory name. I attempted to connect using the 'mount' command as#mount -t nfs <server IP address>:/<directory> <local directory>An attempt was made to mount, however it is username/password protected. I have gone through the docco for 'mount' and cannot find anyway of passing <username><password> with 'mount'. Does anyone know how? Or am I using the wrong command?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to build a load balancing cluster for shared web hosting clients and the only thing left is security. Given the track record with some of these sites, I don't trust them being centralized. We've had rootkits on some of the other servers that replaced system binaries, mostly ssh to capture passwords. I figured the only real way to lock it down tight enough to keep this from happening is to use a live cd for the filesystem or read-only toggle USB stick. But I also need to mount a rw drive to store the clients data and config files that are bound to change.
Is this really the way to go about this? If so do I simply make a live cd iso and edit the files within to handle mounting a rw hard drive and linking data and configuration files to that drive? I've considered just leaving all the data on the physical hard disk and mounting it as ro on boot for binaries and such but can't that just be changed with the right permissions?

I have a dual boot system with ubuntu 9.10 x64 and Windows 7. Everything has been working fine for a a long time but yesterday I tried to delete an unused partition through the Disk Utility in ubuntu (System->Adminstration->Disk Utility) and everything was messed up. I used to get the "Grub error: Unknown filesystem". I managed to create an ubuntu bootable usb and followed some tutorials for fixing grub but all i managed to do is to get another error: "Grub error: No such disc". After some experimentation i got

Booting with a rescue disk and doing a xfs_repair solves the file system Problems but moved a lot of files ( at least /usr/bin and /usr/lib completly) to "lost+found"... I tried the update with a spare 5.2 Server (different Hardware), and ended up with exactly the
same effect and error message. Both systems are running XFS as root File system on an LVM Disk.
Ive setup a filesystem on a RAID 0+1 and am looking at moving root filesystem from a single disk to the new one. I could not install CentOS on mirrored filesystem as the RAID card did not have a pre-built driver for CentOS 5.3, so I had to compile the driver after installing the system.
What Im going to do now is:
1.Mount the new mirrored filesystem under /root1
2.use find | cpio to copy everything from the existing / to /root1
3.use grub to create a boot record on /root1
4.edit /root1/etc/fstab to point / to the new disk
5. reboot the system and keep my fingers crossed
Is this the way to go? Am I missing anything?
I have successful tar an existing CentOS 5.2 partition from Fefora10. The idea is to move a working CentOS 5.2 reside in an internal hard drive to a portable hard drive. I know how to edit a stencil in menu.lst to boot the clone CentOS5.2. During boot, I encountered

I'm looking for insite on how it might be possible to grow an existingvolume/partition/filesystem while it's in active use, and without having to add additional luns/partitions to do it.For example the best way I can find to do itcurrently, and am using this in production, is you have a system using LVM managing a connected LUN (iSCSI/FC/etc), with a single partition/filesystem residing on it.To grow this filesystem (while it's active) you have to add a new LUN to the existing volume group, and then expand the filesystem. To date I have not found a way to expand a filesystem that is hosted by a single LUN.
For system context, I'm running a 150 TB SAN that has over 300 spindles, to which about 50 servers are connected. It is an equal mix of Linux, Windows, and VMware hosts connected via both FC & iSCSI... With both Windows & VMware, the aforementioned task of expanding a single LUN and having the filesystem expanded is barely a 1 minute operation that "Just Works".If you can find me a sweet way to seamlessly expand a LUN and have a Linuxfilesystem expanded (without reboot/unmount/etc)I have cycles to test out any suggested methods/techniques, and am more than happy to report the results for anyone else interested. I think this is a subject that many people would like to find that magic method to make all our lives much easier
I need to hide all the contents in a file sytem. Any command is there or need to tune the kernal parameter...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to lock the filesystem based on user basics, In effect only specific users should have write access. This need to done apart from normal permission setup.
In Detail:
filesystem: /app
application users: appuser1 & appuser2
Normal users: user1 user1
Required: Only app users need to have write permission over app file system, this should done apart from the normal directory permissions. The all other users can able to view the contents even though other users have write permission based on permissions.
This need to done by over ridding the normal permission setup.
Running ubuntu server (ie no gui) but suspect this might be a general problem.
With the machine booted from the hard drive, if I run fdisk -l I get an invalid partition table message code...
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
How do I correct this error?
I went away for a few days but left my computer on to seed torrents. I come back today to find that my flatmate decided to have a tidy up, unplugging my computer and external HDD in the process...I set my computer back up but now my external drive is refusing to mount. This drive has EVERYTHING on it - about 5 years worth of music & video d/ls plus a lot of important documents so I'm praying that it isn't wrecked.That I know of, the drive was mounted but not in use when the power was pulled. The disk utility recognises its there and SMART-healthy, but claims "Filesystem is NOT clean" and won't mount it.
