OpenSUSE Install :: Cannot Boot Into 11.3 - Permission - Or Filesystem Corruption

Jan 29, 2011

While trying to boot into the normal user the system aborts the login and tells me that /home does not have write permission.

The login manager gives:

Code:

If I log in as root and do a

Code:

Or to open some files, it works and no problem seems to exist.

All this happened for the first time after running luckybackup to fusion the old files of one home directory under EXT4 with the new files from my notebook (ext3, Opensuse 11.1 KDE3) in order to come to a unified home. But then the system did not boot any more. I tried to change the owner but some files did not have write access (not even as root, "the file does not exist"). So I thought I might have a a file system problem.

So I thought: unmount the /dev/sdb1 and then do a fschk on it. Runs and was perfect. So I did run it with forcing to control inode per inode.

No error.

So I thought: you screwed up the system. I then decided to reinstall OpensSuse11.3 from the scratch and create the same user for home. I formatted the rest (/swap /boot /root) and left only /home. Installation runs brilliantly, all ok, it comes to the login..................

OpenSUSE Install :: Upgrade To 11.2 - Filesystem Error On Boot ?

Nov 23, 2009

Upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2 using GUI (YaST and Wagon)

Machine stops on boot and says:

fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do: bash# mount -n -o remount, rw /

Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintenance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work.

Give root password for login:

I write: mount -n -o remount,rw /

And then reboot with CONTROL-D.

General :: Filesystem Corruption Possibly Caused By Bad Blocks

Nov 5, 2010

I'm trying to RMA a month old SSD, and they're giving me a hassle about it. The drive currently seems to work just fine, but I'm 95% sure that a few blocks went bad and corrupted some data about a week ago. I was able to mostly recover the data and correct for the bad blocks, but I don't really trust the drive anymore.

I'm running an up to date Debian Squeeze install with ext4 on this drive. My system started doing some bizarre things, to the point that it was unusable, so I rebooted it. As it was booting up, it complained about needing an fsck, which found dozens of non-trivial errors that it was mostly able to fix. It then proceeded to boot normally, except the drive mounted itself as read only (due to errors). Another fsck turned up a similar number of problems. This happened a couple of times before I ran fsck with '-c', which is supposed to scan for and work around bad blocks. That seemed to fix the problem, it hasn't given any more problems since then.

The manufacturer is refusing to RMA the drive unless it's completely unmountable right now this minute, saying that it was a one time problem that could have been caused by anything. Am I right in thinking that the problem has to have been with the drive if 'fsck -c' fixed it, or could something else be going on? If it was the drive, am I somehow being unreasonable in asking for a new one while the current one is "working"?

Software :: Filesystem Corruption - Ext3-fs Group Descriptor Corrupted - No Inittab

Mar 3, 2011

When I rebooted my system (RHEL 5.3 x86_64), I got the following error when it was booting up:

Code:

Full screenshot of the bootup error messages here: previous bootup error

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:

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:

Full screenshot of the startup errors I get now here: current bootup error

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?

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot Error Because E2fsck Thinks Ext3 Filesystem Is Ext2 ?

Jan 19, 2010

During the file system check of an ext3 partition at boot I get the following output:

The super-block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is still valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate super-block:

I'm then forced to login in as root and given the following prompt:

I'm reluctant to do as advised by the output and run e2fsck -b because it is not an ext2 filesystem.

Although I can still enter runlevel 5, it doesn't seem to recognise mouse and keyboard input in KDE so my system is effectively redundant at the mo. For this reason any short term workarounds are welcome, but a fix is needed. This problem is part of a longer saga to do with recovering a Windows Vista installation which started failing to boot. I have used both Vista and SUSE tools to try and recover my bootloader to no avail, and this has been the result. If more detail about this is needed please ask and I can explain what I have done.

Hardware :: Permanent Filesystem Corruption On Reiserfs - Ext3 And Ext4 - Disk Failure?

Feb 9, 2010

I have been having problems with filesystem corruption on my eeepc 1000H for a long time now. I have tried using different filesystems, kernels and distributions (arch, slackware) to no effect. I am starting to grow suspicious that this problem lies somewhere else, as I haven't seen anyone else having similar problems in such a variety of scenarios.

I have tried testing my ram using memtest86+, didn't come up with anything after a full run through. I also have tried using e2fsck -c to check for bad blocks, it finds none. I had a go at using smartctl but wasn't really sure what I was doing. I did a long test and it came up with nothing anyway.

This problem is in addition to the problems I've been having with my intel graphics chip and KMS. A lot of the time there are lockups when booting into X, which can only be gotten out of by a hard reset. This is sometimes what causes the original filesystem errors. I've stopped messing around with KMS for now to eliminate this but my current system in unbootable. I'm guessing my disk is wrecked but have as yet seen no definitive proof. Can anyone recommend anything that I should do?

I am currently on ext4 with a custom kernel 2.6.33-rc6 (the stock kernel shipping with slackware does not have the elantech extension for psmouse included). When I was using arch, I was just using the stock kernels.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 Install Won't Boot After Filesystem Damage

Feb 13, 2010

I was running a somewhat standard install of Ubuntu 9.10, when my drive got pushed into read-only mode,It took an hour or too, but eventually finished. However, now that partition is unbootable, and upon attempting to boot into Ubuntu, it complains about "libsepol.so.1" as missing and starts a recovery shell. In this recovery shell, only certain tools work. ls complains about "libacl.so.1", and the filesystem is still read-only. It completes, much quicker, but the system remains unbootable. I could probably boot into the Ubuntu live-cd to get read-write access, but I wouldn't know what to do.I don't know how I would go about reinstalling the base Ubuntu packages without write access to the hd, or through the live cd.

Ubuntu :: Won't Boot - Possible Data Corruption?

Sep 9, 2010

I'm having an interesting issue with my computer right now. It has Ubuntu lucid installed, which was upgraded from karmic shortly after it became available and was up to date as of September 1.

The issue is as follows: It will not boot the internal hard drive (250GB Seagate barracuda). When I select any of the kernels, it appears to be booting, but 6 Hours later, no joy. If I select any of the Kernels in recovery mode, it does nothing, so again no joy.

It will boot my 500GB removable drive via USB (Samsung on the inside), which contains a backup of my lucid (cloned with Clonezilla) from June-ish, but will not do so if the internal hard drive is hooked up, so I cannot access the internals contents while using the backup USB HD.

Now this is where it get's interesting, at least for me. It will boot up a livecd while the internal HD is connected, which was the only way for me to access the contents of my Ubuntu partitions in the internal HD. I have since pulled the Internal out, removed the USB 500GB HD from it's case, installed it into the internal HD bay, hooked up all the cables, turned the computer on and it did boot. While it did seem to take a long while to boot, I'm hoping this may be because it needs a serious amount of updates (294 updates, 485MB are ready via synaptic!). So I now have placed the 250GB Seagate into the USB HD case and can now access it, but the only contents that can be seen, are the items in my defunct vista partition and I cannot find any remnants of my Ubuntu installation, despite gparted being able to see all of the partitions.

General :: Ubuntu 9.10 Install Won't Boot After Filesystem Damage?

Feb 13, 2010

I was running a somewhat standard install of Ubuntu 9.10, when my drive got pushed into read-only mode, so I switched to tty1, ran /etc/init.d/gdm stop, and then ran fsck -y /. It took an hour or too, but eventually finished. However, now that partition is unbootable, and upon attempting to boot into Ubuntu, it complains about libsepol.so.1 as missing and starts a recovery shell. In this recovery shell, only certain tools work. ls complains about libacl.so.1, and the filesystem is still read-only. When I try mount -rw /dev/sda1, it complains about libsepol.so.1 again. I can however still run fsck. I tried running it with fsck -p -f /, and it completes, much quicker, but the system remains unbootable. I could probably boot into the Ubuntu live-cd to get read-write access, but I wouldn't know what to do. I read an interesting suggestion here, but I don't know how I would go about reinstalling the base Ubuntu packages without write access to the hd, or through the live cd.

General :: Display Corruption And Boot Hang

Jul 13, 2010

Anyone ever see anything like this on bootup?

[url]

The display freezes/hangs, but the kernel is still kind of responsive because I can hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and after many seconds it reboots.

I can get it (Slackware 13.0) to boot this same kernel just fine from CD; it's only the normal bootup, after the install finishes, that this happens.

I enabled netconsole so I could see the messages, shown below, but there are no errors reported. The display corrupts and hangs at the "TCP cubic registered" message which appears to be unrelated to anything video-wise.

General :: Windows 7 - Stumped By Boot Time Corruption?

Dec 1, 2010

I have a home build computer that has data corruption problems at boot time. I have exhausted all the troubleshooting steps that I know to try. Do you have any additional troubleshooting techniques that I should try?

Symptoms: I run both linux(ubuntu, mint and fedora) and win7 on this machine.Sometimes I have just one installed.Other times both in a dual boot setup. The OS installs just fine.The system runs just fine for a while.Then it fails to boot.At first I can fix the boot problems with grub or bootrec (/RebuildBcd, /FixMbr or /FixBoot) as indicated by the error messages.Eventually the system fails to boot at all and I have to wipe the disk(s) and reinstall the operating system.The linux installs seem to last a bit longer. I typically have linux running for a month before the troubles start, but I have to repave and rebuild within 3 months. The windows installs last at most 2 weeks before troubles develop. The system is turned on for the day or evening then turned off overnight.Once the system has booted all checks that I have run pass. On windows fciv.exe, sfc.exe have never deteced and troubles. On linux tripwire shows everything unchanged. Chkdsk and fsck have never reported errors.

Hardware:ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard. 2x2GB kingston memory from the ASUS QVL for this motherboard.I have used two hard disks in this system.WD caviar black 640G (WDC WD6401AALS-00L3B2).Seagate barracuda 7200.7 (ST3120026A).On some rebuilds I have used just one of the drives, sometimes I have both installed.The DVD burner is a LG 4x (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NS30 ).The power supply was originally an el-cheapo Allied unit that came with the case.That has since been replaced with a Seasonic X650.And that is all that is in this system. I use the onboard video, sound and network. I have never plugged an external device into the system (not even a USB flash drive!).

Trouble shooting so far...I have run the memtest utility from both the ubuntu CD and the windows DVD many times. Even when run for several day neither test utility has ever found a memory error.I have run the seagate and western digital provided test and diagnostic tools on both of the hard disks. I have done this on both the unstable ASUS M3A778-EM system and a very stable gateway system.I have swapped out the HDD cables several times.I have replaced the cables with new cables and with cables pulled from a stable system.Because the corruption happens only at boot time I suspected the power supply was having problems under the extra load of disk spinup.So, I replaced the power supply. No success.

I have run the system with every version of the MB BIOS from the version that it shipped with to the latest and greatest. The BIOS upgrades made no noticeable difference.I have enabled and disabled automatic updates on both win7 and ubuntu linux. That made no noticeable difference.That is it. That is all the troubleshooting ideas I have had.

OpenSUSE Install :: RPM Repository / Database Corruption - Unable To "Online Update" Or "Software Manage" The System

Jul 26, 2010

I manage a computer remotely in a different country. The last upgrade I did (to openSUSE 11.2) seems to have had one issue that I didn't work out until later. I am unable to "Online Update" or "Software Manage" the system. Whenever I do I get the following error:

[Code]....

I have been through a number of attempted fixes via the thread 434687-software-repository-corruption but have not managed to resolve the issue. There is no one at the location that could repeat the "update" to hopefully fix the issue that way. I have a copy of the 11.2 DVD iso file on the remote computer. Is there some way that I can get the repository DB rebuilt or reinstalled so that I can then install other software and do Online Updates? Whatever I try has to be doable with the system running so that I can OpenVPN connect and issue commands remotely.

OpenSUSE Install :: Migrating From 11.0 -> 11.3 Filesystem?

Jul 17, 2010

With the release of openSUSE 11.3 I decided to upgrade my three-year old computer which is running 11.0 and has been running out of disk for the last few months. I bought a new 500Gb HDD and installed it as the master drive, and moved my old drive to the slave. I installed 11.3 on the new drive. Too easy.Then I tried to mount my old drive so I could move my account files across. I wasn't able to mount the drive, which uses LVM (Logical Volume Manager). Is there any reason this wouldn't be recognised by 11.3?Then I tried to mount my new drive from my old system but 11.0 doesn't have support for the ext4 filesystem. I loaded the ext4dev kernel module with no joy:

Code:
samsara:/ # lsmod | grep ext4
ext4dev 222360 0

OpenSUSE Install :: Filesystem Not Mounted After Freeze?

I installed OpenSUSE 11.1 on a friends computer after having a lot of trouble from ubuntu, and because I use it. 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.

OpenSUSE Install :: Can't Reformat Encrypted Filesystem?

Mar 2, 2010

I have an encrypted filesystem that I've decided I don't want encrypted anymore. Seems the easiest way to do this is simply reformat the filesystem, but I can't. If I try to do it in YaST2 I get either system error code -3005 (unknown) or -3008 (apparently in use). When I try to do it from the command line I get:

Code:
frylock:/home/joel # umount /dev/sdb5
umount: /dev/sdb5: not mounted
frylock:/home/joel # mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb5
mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
/dev/sdb5 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
frylock:/home/joel #

It's unmounted, I don't know how to make it any less in use than that.I can't delete the partition because it's not the last logical partition in the extended partition.

OpenSUSE Install :: Possible To Rewrite Filesystem Creation?

My original command:mkfs.ext4 -b 2048 -L insightRAIDvol /dev/md0I know want:mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -L insightRAIDvol /dev/md0Is it ok to just issue this command even though a filesystem already is in place?I am hesitant to try this without knowing what the ramifications of this might be for the superblocks or some other unknown parameter to me that might cause problems in the future.As well I know I could rebuild everything from scratch but that's a day and a half of rebuilding

May 25, 2010

I have double boot (windows7 and Opensuse) on my laptop.

My problem is when try to login Opensuse says Read only file system.(While booting a lot of things FAILS(written red) because of Read only file system). So i can't login.

Cause of this problem is want to reach my Opensuse filesystem from windows7.I installed Ext2fsd software to windows7.After installed software can see my opensuse filesystem.But it looks empty from windows7.So uninstalled the software.

After that day try to login my Opensuse.While booting alot of thing fails to load it says "FAILED".and when entered my password after entering my username cant login it says ..... Read Only File System.

How can i make the filesystem Read/write permissions to my opensuse operating system.

I can't use any command beceause can't login. (I will try to boot with Opensuse Dvd)

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 (KDE 4) Could Not Mount Root Filesystem

Oct 26, 2010

I am running 11.2, kde4. The day before yesterday, the system updated and I think there was kernal update within that. I had no problems immediately afterward. Then I did a total shutdown for the night, and turned it back on yesterday only to find this:

Mount: wrong fs, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog--try dmesg | tail or so
Could not mount root filesystem--exiting to /bin/sh
sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
sh: no job control in this shell
$

Besides the last updates from the other day, I did nothing out of the ordinary, no downloads or any system/configuration tweeks. Will I have to reinstall opensuse? or is there a way to reclaim my previous setup--or at least reclaim my files and documents? I'm running off of the 11.2 livecd.

OpenSUSE Install :: Which Filesystem To Choose For Bigger Blocksize

Apr 14, 2010

I have an application which uses 256k as blocksize. And I would like to have a filesystem which handles I/O blocksize as near as possible to this blocksize.

I can not use EXT3, because that will be to small blocks. I was getting into problem to use XFS; because that has some dependencies to the PAGESIZE in the kernel, it can not use bigger blocksizes than the PAGESIZE in the kernel.

What more opertunities do I have? Or how can I get XFS to work with bigger blocks.?
