General :: External Drive Read Only - WARNING! Running E2fsck On A Mounted Filesystem May Cause SEVERE Filesystem Damage
Mar 24, 2010I've had a look at some similar threads but as I'm very new to linux they're already a bit technical for me. Sorry, this calls for someone with patience. I gather from other threads that disconnecting an external drive without unmounting is a no-no, and this seems to be the likely cause. Now the disk is read only and I'm unable to change any settings through the usual control panel on ubuntu. I'm just not familiar with the terminal instructions. I tried to cut and past a few command lines from other threads but I got some warnings that proceding could damage data. Like this one: WARNING! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage.

May 18, 2011I 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?
General :: Windows - Ubuntu: Filesystem Could Not Be Mounted?
Feb 26, 2010I run Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.10 dual boot. Today while booting windows, it informed me that there was something wrong with my hard disk and it would perform a check, and made some fixes.
Only when I wanted to boot into ubuntu again did I realise that the disk check had corrupted my linux partition. Ubuntu's load screen shows up, but just before the login screen it says that the filesystem could not be mounted.
Is there a way I can fix this? And how do I prevent windows from doing the same in the future?
General :: Finding Mounted HDD While Booted Up On LiveCD?
Mar 2, 2010I have a Fedora 12 system. Having some boot problems here and I booted up my Fedora 12 live CD to troubleshoot it. My boot problem is I get to this message: Registering binary handler for windows applications: Then the screen flashes a few times and enternal hang begins. I installed wine before the reboot. I cannot figure out where my HD (which is sata btw) is after liveCD bootup. I figured I could turn wine off some how. Is it in rc.d or init.d? Anyhow here is my mount info from terminal.

Ubuntu :: Finding Filesystem Type/repair Broken Filesystem?
Jul 9, 2010I have a following problem: Recently my drive with Ubuntu 9.4 has mysteriously stopped working, i.e. when I switch the computer on it informs me that GRUB didn't find the filesystem. Well, I suppose it happens.
First, I though it was due to the drive dying, but I popped it in an external enclosure and HDTune told me the drive was fine. Wanting to recover the files on the drive before reinstalling I first tried to mount it in said external enclosure under Windows (I have Win Ext2 driver installed which used to work just fine). This time, however, drive gets assigned a letter but upon opening it Windows popped up an error saying that the drive was not formatted and whether I would like to format it then.
Unfazed by this streak of failures I tried to mount it under Linux but, alas, to no avail. I might have tried every single -t operator under mount command but it still won't budge and let me mount.
General :: View Bad Blocks On Mounted Ext3 Filesystem?
Mar 18, 2011I've ran fsck -c on the (unmounted) partition in question a while ago. The process was unattended and results were not stored anywhere (except badblock inode). Now I'd like to get badblock information to know if there are any problems with the harddrive. Unfortunately, partition is used in the production system and can't be unmounted.
I see two ways to get what I want: Run badblocks in read-only mode. This will probably take a lot of time and cause unnecessary bruden on the system. Somehow extract information about badblocks from the filesystem iteself. How can I view known badblocks registered in mounted filesystem?
General :: Grub: Kernel Parameter RO But Filesystem Still Gets Mounted Rw?
Jan 13, 2010I am trying to do a fsck on my ext3 partition, but so far failed to let the system come up in single user mode and having the partition mounted read only. It says in the kernel parameter that it is read only (RO) but still mounts it RW. A remount with mount -o remount,ro does not work, since / is always busy. what to do to get a fsck done? I don't want to boot into a rescue system, this should be possible on a running system (like Windows does it, when rebooting)

Nov 19, 2010For example we have a PC with Linux and, let's say, ext4. It is connected to another PC with Linux and Samba-shared dir.First PC mounted shared dir of the second one. So it's in the filesystem, for example in "/mnt/000/". What will happen if I unplug the net cable from first PC? Will ext4 on the first PC crash so I'll have to perform fsck? I know that hot unpluging of mounted HDD probably will make filesystem read-only available and generally damaged.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Ext3 Filesystem Mounted In Ubuntu 9.10 (Echo Error)
Apr 19, 2010I am trying to figure out a totally odd behavior of the ext3 filesystem mounted in Ubuntu 9.10. There is a Korn Shell script, part of which does the following in the loop:
while ((1)); do
mv dir1/file dir2;
if [[ ! -r dir2/file ]]; then
echo "ERROR"
ls -l dir1/* dir2/*
exit 1
elif
echo "OK"
fi
done
Given that dir2/file always exists and that I do not move it asynchronously with "&", my script should never hit the "ERROR" statement. The odd thing is that it does, and quite randomly (no pattern at all). However when it does hit the ERROR case, ls -l prints that file is in dir2 and it is readable! I tried using "-e" instead of "-r" test - no luck. I never seen anything like this in 10 years of my programming experience. Same script worked fine on Fedora 11, and yet it wouldn't work on Ubuntu.

OpenSUSE Install :: Filesystem Not Mounted After Freeze?

It was working great when she got it home, but it locked up randomly and wouldn't unfreeze so she turned it off and when she rebooted She got an error about there not being a file system present and that she needed to run a mount command, which didn't work. After that, now it just says that there is no files system present and you ge tthe basic prompt. I had her run a live cd and run Gpartd and check and repair the partitions, but it did nothing.

Debian Configuration :: LVM Partitions Not Getting Mounted At Boot Time
Apr 18, 2010I have two partitions in LVM. They are added in /etc/fstab to mount automatically. But, they are not working. The process to mount partitions seems to be happening before the service /etc/init.d/lvm2 is started. I can get it mounted using "mount -a" command, but not during the boot time. What should I do get it automatically mounted on every boot?
View 5 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: All Partitions Mounted At Boot Time (Squeeze)
Dec 5, 2010I am using Gnome and Squeeze. I am wondering if I have a problem of understanding, or a problem that I found with Gnome.
My configuration is with a 3 hard disk system.
disk1 (Debian)
disk2 (XP and Fedora)
Disk3 (W7 and a Data partition)
When I boot and log in, all partitions for disk2 and disk3 are mounted read-write. Only by going to command line am I able to unmount the drives with the following sequence
cd /media
umount *
umount *
I should be able to mount and umount a drive by providing or responding to a root password. But I am not given the option to present a password. My request is blocked.
I also do not want to see the drives remounted after a boot. I tried to find out how this was managed, but I was unable to discover the module and it's parameter list that controls or does this task.

Red Hat :: Veritas Cluster Filesystem On RedHat - Du Command Time Anomaly?
Apr 9, 2010I have a 2 node RH 5u4 64-bit. I have installed and configured the latest Veritas CFS (Cluster File System) which also uses Veritas Cluster Server. File system if VxFS. Storage is on EMC Symmetrix arrays with Veritas Mirroring between the arrays.We have noticed that running 'du -hs' on the shared directory/filesystem where it takes about 3 minutes on one node and 30 - 45 minutes on the other node.I've been running strace on 'du'.'du' runs an 'lstat' on each file (66,000+ files). On the slower node, the ave time spent in 'du' is about .001 seconds longer, which accounts for the 30-45 minutes. Also, the standard deviation is much larger, which means to me that the lstat times are all over the place!Another interesting thing is that iozone profiling shows that the i/o rates from both nodes are darn near identical, with no anomalies at various buffer & file sizes! And, iostat looks really good as does 'vxdmpadm iostat show
