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.
View 13 RepliesI have a RHEL 5 system running vsftpd. If I do a put to the box, files larger than 1 GB fail around the 1 GB point. Smaller files don't have a problem. If I do a get from the box there is no problem. Both the FTP server and client are plugged into a Netgear switch. I'm trying to create an FTP server and web server so my friends and I can upload our vacation pictures. Ultimately I want my friends to be able to access my server. Right now I'm just trying to make it work between my two machines.

I have two CentOS 5 servers that I'm trying to transfer files between. They're on the same LAN switch, same subnet and everything. So far, everything I've attempted has failed, but scp still exits with a return code of 0. It only displays a line of *** and exits immediately. It's almost as if the file transfers instantly, but no file actually gets copied. Here is the verbose output from scp:

My F12 installation, which was installed on an HP tx2500z laptop and has been operating relatively well since January, now fails to boot after a frozen screen precipitated a forced shutdown. On reboot, I was dropped into a shell with the error message "Error reading block 1546 (Attempt to read block from file system resulted in a short read) while getting next inode from scan." recommending to run fsck manually. During the fsck run, after a substantial number of Pass 1 inode count corrections, the "Error reading block" message reappeared, with the question "Ignore error<y>" to which I answered "y".
fsck responded with "Force rewrite<y>". Since I did not know what would be written here, I said "no". I then forced shutdown, rebooted into Windows, and searched for further guidance. One suggestion was to run fsck -y on the affected partition. My laptop drive has four partitions, the first two being allocated to Windows and an HP supplied repair partition. sda3 is a tiny boot partition (100 MB), and sda4/5 is the LVM remainder.
fsck -y /dev/sda3 told me the boot partition was fine.
fsck -y /dev/sda4 stopped immediately and asked "Could this be a zero-length file partition?". Given the ext3 structure, I suppose the correct answer is yes.
fsck -y /dev/sda5 told me fsck.LVM2_Member: not found.
Following this, I then attempted again to reboot, and ran fsck without options. Once again, during Pass 1, Block 1546 exhibited the short read error, again asking about a rewrite - which I once again answered no. Pass 1 completed with another substantial number of inode count corrections, and Pass 2 started - immediately generating the message:
'passwd' in /etc/pam.d (65556) has deleted/unused node 7831. Clear<y>
After some hesitancy, I said "yes", and of course a second similar message appeared. I was brave enough to answer "yes" six more times, with the first two referring to /etc/pam.d inodes, and the next four referring to /etc/security/console.apps inodes. The eighth message, also similar, referred to inodes elsewhere - but by now I did not dare to continue and forced shutdown. Is this repairable, and if so, how?
I'm running a small development server on Ubuntu 10.04 server 64 bit with ext4 as the File system type.

What I see upon insertion of a disc is the automount fail:
This persists across discs and across reboots.
I looked around the net and I at least found some evidence of the "unaligned transfer" problem; supposedly this happens when something tries to access the drive before it's ready, and (at least for some kernels) can get the responsible module in a permanently confused state. However, I'm not accessing the disc manually, some automounter or something is accessing it -- I don't even know what.

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system
Please remember to set a password for the MySQL root User
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

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 had a dual boot Kubuntu 9.04 - FC 11 and decided to upgrade to Kubuntu 9.10. Recalling that I had issues with my ATI card drivers when I installed Kubuntu8.10 on my laptop, I decided to install the latest ATI Catalyst drivers. After the installation was complete I received a message warning me that if the X server fails to load I should run "aticonfig --initial -f". Indeed the X Server didn't load (after I logged in the screen flushed and went black). So I reinstalled Kubuntu 8.10 from a CD I without formating the respective partition. But the problem perists, X server fails to load. Even worse my menu.lst file has been changed and I can't boot FC11.

Attempting to install 10.04 Server on an IBM Series X 232 server. Its an old server with dual p III's, 4 small drives and an adaptec controller with a RAID 5 array. The server is currently running CentOS 5.5.
The CD I am installing from is known good. I verified it after I wrote it and verified it again during the install process. The system boots from the CD, I accept the defaults, then it fails at "adding additional components".
I have a issue that could get me fired, so I would appreciate your input. My knowledge about linux is limited
The company I work for has a Dell Poweredge 6850 that keeps pretty much everything (databases, websites, etc).
The server had a Virtual Drive created from 2 Physical Drives. Since the HDD space was getting low, we got a new drive, inserted it, formatted and rebooted the system.
But the system now refuses to start, giving an FAILED message, something related to EXT2 partition that cannot be read at /dev/hda1.
The setup: 2 identical boxes running Fedora Core 15 2.6.38.8 kernel, 64bit that Im trying to setup in a cluster using luci.
So far: Managed to create the cluster.conf file, defined the nodes with hosts and such.
The problem: When I try to have the 2 nodes (nod1 and nod2) join the cluster via luci's web interface, I get
"Starting cman: Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details."
When I check code...
Now. I know that cman service is installed. I even tried removing and reinstalling the whole thing, dependencies and all, but it just won't start and I've run out of ideas.
