Fedora :: Error - Inode 3640928 Has A Bad Extended Atribute Block
Dec 27, 2010
my server is fedora-7 and it was working fine till yesterday yester I have power failu problem after we got problem. while booting following error coming Inode 3640928 has a bad extended atribute block
I decided to take an old Gateway that I bought off a guy cheaply and turn it into a file and web server.I purchased copies of Debian 5.0.4 i386 disks (31 in all) on the advice of a friend, the disks weren't expensive, but now that Ive installed all the disks, I'm having a variety of errors
[443.110940 end request: I/O error, dev hde, sector 76021855 [443.111074] EXT3-fs error (device hde1): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=2375715, block=9502724 INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty"
I am using Wind River Linux- 2.6.27.18-WR3.0bg_standard. The problem is whenever I execute "reboot, ls, cd" and many other commands the OS prompts me an error- "end request: i/o error, dev sda, sector "(different sector each time)" and EXT3-fs error (device sda1):ext3_get_inode_loc:unable to read inode block- inode-4088001, block-4097027 I also executed "dmesg", it also showed similar errors. Has the disk gone bad or the kernel is corrupted?
I was using gparted from a live usb to resize an ext4 partition and it failed while running resize2fs. The error it gave was
Code: resize2fs: The inode is from a bad block in the inode table while trying to resize /dev/sda5 please run 'e2fsck -fy /dev/sda5' to fix the filesystem after the aborted resize operation.
While booting my Linux System (Red hat Enterprises edition 5.1) I am getting a messsage as below , the message is getting generated during file checking on first boot. Extended attribute block 18875430 has reference count 2 , should be 1. and after this system remains in the same sate.
I'm having trouble mounting hard drives and partitions - and am rather nervous about using Yast partitioner to do this. Is there something that would tell me about mount points in Yast partitioner? So far I haven't been able to find that information anywhere. I don't want to lose information on existing drives and partitions but do want to be able to access them.Some of them appear under disk information in "My Computer" but if I try to mount them I get this error message.There is no application installed that can open files of the type block device (inode/blockdevice).I was trying to edit fstab,his didn't seem straightforward either. I've been hacking this about in other Linux distros - so not entirely clueless
I am getting this error every night at 4am (right about when the cron.daily runs). when it does this, it remounts the filesystem read only. In the AM I get yelled at by users. all it takes is an fsck to fix the problem, but it does it every night. I have tried to rebuild the journal by removing the has_journal flag, running an fsck, and then re-adding the journal... same problem.. and its always the same inode.
About a month and a half ago I purchased two new 500GB serial ATA hard drives from Best Buy to replace my other, very old 186GB SATA hard drive. Since then I've had issues with Linux. Sometimes when it's booting it gives a bunch of error messages, such as "failed to set xfermode," and then it boots. Other times, after INIT has started, I get ext3 errors about failing to read an inode block, then "cannot start /sbin/agetty" and "ID c5 respawning too fast," and at this point booting fails altogether. These errors seem to happen randomly. However, once the system has booted, everything seems to work fine, and there are no further issues.
I know it's not a faulty hard drive or filesystem because I've tried Linux on both hard drives numerous times, and I've reformatted many times, one time I even tried erasing one of the hard drives byte for byte and then formatting it, and still had issues.
I've tried Arch Linux, Gentoo, VectorLinux, and openSUSE, and all of them have given me these problems. The live CD's for Ubuntu 10.04, Clonezilla, and GParted all have trouble partitioning/cloning/installing to these hard drives. At this point, it's obvious to me that there is a universal problem with this particular model.
GRUB and Syslinux both work fine, and Windows XP works fine too. It's only Linux that's giving me issues.
I would rather not buy a new hard drive if I can help it, seeing as these two are almost brand new. Is there some BIOS setting that could be causing these problems? Is it some unsupported feature in the hard drives? Is it a bug in the Linux kernel?
The hard drive model is WD5000AADS. Both hard drives are this same model. My motherboard is an NForce 680i SLI.
EDIT: I've tried ext2/3, ReiserFS, and XFS, and all of them do this, so I don't think it's a filesystem issue.
I have a 14TB raid, file system is read-only and I am trying to run e2fsck -B -p -C -v -y /dev/sdb1, it goes through, but fails and says bad block/inode or fails to transfer, something like that.Is there a way I can get this to run successful, this is a production storage server, its critical.

I have added new member "i_mymember" to inode on-disk structure in ext3_fs.h file and tried to access this in userspace program, but gives me error that "error: �struct ext3_inode� has no member named �i_mymember� "
I was trying to move my home partition on Ubuntu, and the computer hibernated on me. I restarted it up on the live disk to survey the damage, to find that the home partition, according to fsck, "Superblock has an invalid journal (inode Clear? <y>"
1st. I lost my usb drives. Im using Puppy Studio(Lucid, Full HDD install, latest ver) on a Toshiba Satellite 2805-S201... My 1st Linux treasure... Anyway... I was recording audio thru audacity. Shutdown. L8r started and inserted a Flash drive and the icon never showed even though I used it hours prior with no issues. The drives are working fine meaning I can access the data on other devices. Now the newb... I cant find the USB info anywhere. i followed System-Status & Configure-Hardware info-Devices-USB devices and theres nothing there. The optical drive & sda1 are registered but the flash drives are not. Does it sound like my 2 USB ports are dead? My mouse & keyboard dont register either!
2nd. B4 today reboot was the only command I knew (so sad...) but I learned dmesg and tried that and dmesg reads
Basically I now want to move my music but I have no working usb ports. And Its been frustrating trying to figure out what the dmesg means when today is the 1st time I opened a terminal!
I have 2 hdds, with encrypted / and /home. Besides there are four other (encrypted ext4) partitions I use rarely. In Fedora 11 at boottime I gave the luks passphrase for / and home and the system booted as intended.
Whenever I needed those extra encrypted partitions I mounted them in Nautilus. Now, in Fedora 12 at boottime dracut tries to open all the encrypted partitions, / and /home are mounted fine, but opening all the other partitions gave the following messages in messages.log:
Quote:

[code]....
...and these messages are repeated with the other partiitions, and the boot time takes very, very long. How can I tell dracut to ignore those extra encrypted partitions at boottime?
Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this to continue the boot sequence.

loops that during install. new hard drive fresh out of box. WD 320GB 7200 Toshiba Qosmio intell core duo i've installed with this same disk before previous hard drive died. installed over windows vista. this time im trying to install solo no windows disk to reinstall with, F10 only. I've tried other distros as well, Mandriva one 2009, Dreamlinux, and this one. i've suspected hard drive controller went out but i can format and partition the drive. also the cd/dvd drive is bad but im booting from cd fine. tried removing the cd drive and booting from an external usb cd rom, same errors.
im about to deploy and need my computer up and running ASAP. 7 months no entertainment is not good. when i use a linux boot disk from Ultimate Boot Disk (UBD) i get an error of - hda status no response and something about invalid heads dreamlinux pushes past the error till i get the error about cant start x server. about my graphics
I have installed a fresh copy of FC14 and when I logged in locally for the first time I was getting the error messages below. Now these same messages are filling up my messages log and it's running non stop in the background. Has anyone seen anything on this error? I have searched through Google looking for help and I'm not finding much.
This box is a simple file/web server with no monitor hooked up and no GUI. I have also included the lspci ouput below if that might help. Really looking for any suggestions or input on how I might stop the error reporting since is filling up my log files quickly.
i've just burned a livecd (fedora 11), but it doesn't work correctly.it says after i hit boot:
BUFFER I/O error on device sr0 logical block 352328
and then something else, which is similar so i didn't write it down.i read on bugzilla, that is should try to append the boot command with pci=nomsi, but it doesn't work for me
I am running into a scenario where inode utilization (df -i)on a partition is 100% I want know
1) Is there a better way to list the total count of all files in a partition and just display total number of files in each directory in that partition I can get approx total for the entire partition by following commands
ls -Rla | wc -l find -type f | wc -l
whereas ls -Rla gives too lengthy outptut with all the files in each directory
2) How to know inode utilization for each user or system account? There is huge number of files and how to remove it
I'm working on a Total Recall Voice logger that fails to boot.The voice logger has fedora installed.Its reports 'error reading block 33051,run fsch manually'. It also requests for root password for maintenance.Can someone pls help me out, and what could the root password be?
I still haven't put my finger on the details, but I wanted to see if this rings any bells. When I leave my Fedora 15 system for several hours and then come back, it is sometimes unresponsive for several minutes before it finally thaws out. This is beyond get-a-cup-of-coffee slow - drop-off-the-dry-cleaning-and-pick-up-some-milk slow would probably be a more accurate characterization. It's basically a stock F15 install with vmware player installed and running two virtual machines. One of the virtual machines is also stock F15, and I've been waiting on it for over an hour since thawing out the host system this morning. The clock at the top says "Tue 03:53" (the current time is Wed 11:00).
In previous versions of Fedora I was able to do Ctrl + Shift + U, enter the Unicode number - i.e., 20ac, press Enter and get a euro character. In Fedora 12 I do not have that feature. My language is US English.
I have a situation where a disk was built using an image from a disk with a much smaller geometry. The result is about 70% of the disk is unused. Most of the partitions (including root) are on an extended partition that is sized for this smaller geometry. The person who did this has already been scolded, but life goes on.fdisk shows this:
Disk /dev/sda: 146.6 GB, 146694733824 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17834 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
I'm using Fedora 14 x86_64.I want to take 200GB from the /home Extended-Logical Partition, and install Archlinux on it, how do I do that? In this 200GB Free Extended Space I want to create another 4 Logical Partitions for Archlinux.
I need to create a NTFS partition. However Windows installer doesn't see 'unallocated' under /dev/sda4. I do not want to touch /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sda5. I also need swap. Is there any chance I can move 'unallocated' under /dev/sda4 from extended and recreate it as a primary partition?
