Using redhat linux el5, when I had booted I had pbm repairing filesystem. So I run following commands
1. fsck -l
2. fsck
But I cannot solve the pbm. My pbm is I had important folder "backup" in root folder just I want to copy it in pendrive how to do it.
Basically, my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop crashed and now when I try to boot into it I get all sorts of error messages and then I get dropped into a shell - it can't find the device etc. I tried running fsck from the command line but it can't find it. My DVD Drive isn't reading properly so I have no way of running the Recovery software on there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've tried to google but not much luck. What I would like to do is have anumber of folders on my desktop and their contents, replicated/duplicated into another folder on the same PC in real time. So for example, if I were to change an OpenOffice document in a specific folder on my Desktop it would be replicated/duplicated in real time. If I had three folders on my Desktop A, B and C they would also appear/be backed up (in real time) in a folder called /home/backup. Can this be done?

Is there a way to recreate all the folders from one directory to another without copying over the contents of the folder? I've been trying to do something like this,
Code:for i in `ls $X`; do mkdir $PATH/$i; doneUnfortunately $i is deliminated by whitespaces in the filenames and not the actual folders.
$X contains only other folders so I dont have to worry about regular files but any kind of more "advanced" solution would work.

I'm gonna buy a 1.5 TB HDD to put there backups, videos, and stuff like that, and i was wondering what Filesystem should i put there considering that it will be used for backups (mostly) and I must count with that drive in case of something going wrong.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to backup a lot of files on an external 2TB USB and sit it in a cupboard for the next 10 years. Looking for the most reliable filesystem for this. I don't care about speed, journalling, UNIX permissions or any of that stuff. All I care about is in 10 years time when the hard disk plates are rusted and unreadable and the drive hardly functions, what filesystem will be the easiest to recover my data from. Not ruling out FAT32 either for its simplicity but maybe there's a better filesystem for the job?
View 12 Replies View Relatedin preparation for the update to Slackware64 13.1 I did a complete backup of my system with dd.
I used the Slackware 13.0 (not 64 bit) DVD to boot and executed the command:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
The command finished without any errors as expected. First I tried to boot the destination hard disk to check if the backup was successful and I can start with updating the source disk to 13.1. But at boot time I got the message that the last file system check is 197 day ago, the file system check started automatically and found errors which it could not correct. At this point I thought it was maybe a copy or a hard disk error and tried to boot the source disk. But the behaviour was exactly the same on the source disk. With the source disk I followed then the recommendation, logged in with root password and executed the recommended command which was something like e2fsck -v -h /dev/sda1. Then the system did a file system check and scrolled a lot of numbers over the screen. After a while it reported that it's ready and the system needs a restart.
I switched off and on again. Then the system bootet as usual, and seems to run okay at the moment. But now I'm unsure if really everything is okay.
What I'm confused of is, why the system reported that the last file system check was 197 days ago and why this was just after the dd backup. Shouldn't the automatic file system check at boot time run more often as every 197 days or mounts? I didn't change any default settings (as far as I know). The file system of the root partition is ext4 and my computer normally is switched on and off once every day.
My question now is, if this behaviour can have something to do with the dd backup.
Is my system after the file system check okay again, or should I expect further problems?
Suppose I have a good backup of the / root filesystem. How do I recover the / root area? Suppose I have modified the root filesystem, perhaps I do an update some of the packages and regret it, and I want to get back to the system at the time of the backup. How do most linux people recover the root area of a system from a backup?
1) I wondered if I might put a System Rescue CD in and boot off it?
2) And then NFS mount the directory containing the backup? -In my case, I have made a good backup using rsync, to a directory elsewhere on the network.
3) And then, still booted off the System Rescue CD, mount the partition that contains the / root area in question?
4) Would I then clear or empty or delete the contents from the / root partition?
5) And then copy across all the files from the backup into the / root partition?
I ask these questions because of the (very nice) way linux OS is built entirely from packages... Am I being too complicated? (By comparison, I can see it is easy to recover user data.)If, instead, I simply recovered the backup straight onto the updated root filesystem, I wonder what it would look like if I then tried to verify it with "rpm -Va", for example? Surely, all the packages would fail the verification, because it would think it has a later version of each package from the update, but the actual files would have been overwritten by the earlier version from the backup?
Using tar is it possible to backup different types of file system e.g.ext3, ufs, or any other file system. I know using dump it is not possible because it is reading through raw device. Then what about tar? Where I get more info about this? Means suppose I want to backup files from different file systems using tar then is it possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am getting a SSD and I'd like it to become my new Linux boot drive. However, it is smaller than my current hard drive's root Linux partition, so I'd like to copy over the filesystem and exclude some directories (which I'll leave on another hard drive). So I can't just clone the partition with parted or similar because it is too big.
I want to make sure all the data, metadata, links and such are preserved. That seems to exclude "cp" because it doesn't preserve all the metadata and link information.
The two basic techniques I've been able to identify seem to be something like:
find / -xdev -print0 | cpio -pa0V /mnt/dst
and:
rsync -avP -H -S --numeric-ids / /mnt/dst
Can anyone chime in with what they've used in the past, whether one of these or a different method, or if they see any flaws in these approaches.

Now that it's working, I would like to copy the root filesystem from RAM to a NAND flash memory.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am going to be involved with a massive filesystem copy from a local to a remote server in the next couple of weeks. There are ten filesystems in involved in this process. All, except one, are one hundred gigabytes in size, with the remaining one at twenty gigabytes.The cp command with the -pr options will be used to copy the directories to their new location. A speed test, involving ten directories, was done to determine the average amount of time it would take to complete the process. The ten directories used in this test ranged in size from 2.3 gigabytes to 4.3 gigabytes. The results indicated the average amount time to complete the copy was around one minute and thirty seconds.
The question I have is the following: Is it better to interactively go to each filesystem and run the cp -pr command there, or should I write a script that will automatically go to each filesystem and run the copy?
