Everytime i log into my server, I get the message Displayed "/dev/sdc1 will be checked for errors at next reboot"
However, despite many reboots this message does not clear.
I cannot run FSCK on this partition as it is the boot partition.
I would like the device to get checked at reboot, any ideas how I can trigger this check , and that might clear the message
I found this page online. And I thought it was really nice, and I really like the way torrentflux was added, thats a must for me. I am wondering if there is a better approach now, or if this approach is still good, and I was just wondering if someone could double-check the code, see if its good. I have an old dell laying around, and I thought it was finally time to put it to good use. So here it is.[URL]..

I was in the process of installing the ubuntu-restricted packages (apt-get was halfway into setting-up libtwolame0) when the machine locked up and I was forced to do a hard reboot. Now, at the CLI, I try to remove the corrupted package before re-installing, but I get the following errors: (they seem to be persistent, no matter what I'm trying to install/uninstall via apt-get...$ sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-restricted-extras

After installing Opensuse 11.3 i get massive graphical errors after reboot. Those errors directly start after the first resolution change after grub. So i used nomodeset from now on and installed the drivers from nvidia.
After this X11 only flasht up very shortly and i got this logs:

I was running 9.10-64, upgraded from 9.04 on a 160GB separate boot drive with a 1TB drive for storage. I had mdadm software RAID on 3 500GB drives. I copied off the contents of the md0 RAID device, formatted from ext3 to ext4, then copied it all back. I operated for several weeks this way with enhanced performance and no issues.note: All drives are on MB SATA-II.I wiped out everything and reloaded the 160GB drive with 10.04-64. I removed dmraid and set up mdadm as before with no immediate problems.
The next day, when I pulled up the contents of the 1TB drive (mapped to /1000), it displayed the contents of the root instead. Curious, I attempted to tunnel down to the /1000 folder from within its own listing of /, and saw no files listed. I proceeded to delete the files in the /1000 folder, whereupon I found that my system became unstable. I must have somehow been deleting files from the root itself.I reloaded again. To check if the SATA connector to the 1TB drive may be somehow suddenly faulty, I reordered the connectors and set up the boot priority in the BIOS to match the new configuration. The next morning, I was once again able to see the contents of / when ls'ing /1000. I carefully checked the entry in fstab, the fdisk -l output, and made sure that the directory wasn't somehow showing as a link.
For the next attempt I decided to take ext4 and mdadm completely out of the equation, hoping it was a bug with some combination of the two under the new kernel or something else which could be corrected by replacing the software RAID with a physical controller at a later date. Instead of RAID, I simply formatted each of the 500's as ext3 and mapped them to /500-1 through /500-3 respectively. However, after a day of normal operation, I am now able to see the contents of / when I ls /500-3. The other 4 drives appear to continue operating normally.I have been unable to pull up a similar post prior to creating this one. Perhaps I don't know how to properly search for this issue. If anyone has seen something similar, please link me to the solution.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to become familiar with the file system. I noticed my MP3 player (USB) is not mounted automatically when I plug it into the USB cable. I searched Google to find out how to auto mount this device and it worked. However, I didn't give this enough thought to what I was doing I guess. Now if the MP3 player is not connected to the USB cable the boot process stops at the splash screen waiting for the device. The window on the screen states the following:
The disk drive for /media/sdc1/ is not ready or not present. Continue to wait or press S to skip mounting or M to manual recovery.
I don't remember what I did to start this whole mess so I don't know how to undo it? Could someone please help me undo this? I would like the device to auto mount ONLY if it's plugged in if this is possible.

I've had this server for a while and I've periodically received similar errors, but it's been worse lately. I'm trying to diagnose and similar posts have left me with 2, maybe 3, ideas about what could be wrong. Here is the setup: Ubuntu Server 10.10 maverick kernel 2.6.35-30-server Sans Digital TR8 8 bay raid - 2 port multipliers to esata outputs 8 1TB WD Caviar Black Syba PCI-e card with Sil3124 chipset - 2 external esata inputs I do not use the RocketRaid 622 card that came w/the enclosure because I had problems with drivers and configuration so I went with the SI chipset. The raid is configured with mdadm, level 10, running ext3 file system:
Code:
root@i5server:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid10 sdb1[5] sdg1[2] sdd1[7] sdh1[3] sdf1[1] sde1[0] sdc1[6] sda1[4]
3906721792 blocks 256K chunks 2 far-copies [8/8] [UUUUUUUU]
[Code].....
What's odd is that the raid dropped out and completely locked up the computer multiple times, then marked one of the drives as failed. I did a readd on the drive and it rebuilt witout issue. Ran e2fsck -f to clean up the problems it had when it crashed, but as soon as I do heavy read/writes the errors start showing up again. This is primarily a media server for music and movies, but also for backups and printing. Heavy read/writes are generally transcoding movies and music which is what I was doing when it failed.

Any insignt into what may be causing this would be well appreciated.
It may be also worth noting that I dont see the grub screen. My monitor reports "out of range" I also did have ubuntu server 10.10 on here previously which installed without issue.

I get an error message that says phpMyAdmin - Error, Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
So I did some googling and found a post here {URL]... which speaks about resetting the ownership of the session directory. However I am wondering how I can find out what the owner if the directory is (if its root or admin or ...)
It's strange because it all worked fine just about two hours ago and I am not sure since I have the server automatically download security updates if there is something it automatically downloaded that caused this. Also how to make the server stop automatically downloading security updated?

When I restarted one of my servers today and actually worked directly on the system (not through SSH as usual), some weird error messages kept appearing in the console. So I checked the syslog and found several instances of the following lines:
[Code]...
I set up the web/backup server for our department and I'm having some major issues. Firstly, the server seems to be dropping the network connection periodically. I checked all of the logs and it appeared to be an IP6 issue as the only message that seemed to correlate with it was "eth0: no IPv6 routers present" in syslog. I added "ipv6.disable=1" to my boot options in menu.lst and this seemed to take care of the problem. However, I woke up this morning and the server was back down.
This didn't seem to take care of the problem. It seems to occur when my automatic backup scripts go through. I have several BASH backup scripts that use rysnc over SSH to backup several computers to the server and the server to my desktop at home. I was able to trigger the problem a couple of times running the backup script this morning. Now, I'm getting the following error when running the script, instead of losing the network connection:

I tried booting with a previous kernel to see if that was the problem and I'm still getting this error. I've searched through all of the logs that I could think of to try to track down any software based problems and I just don't see anything. In the past, whenever I've run into such serious with a Linux box that popped up out of nowhere, it's always been a hardware failure. I've currently disabled all of the backup scripts and I'm going to see if it lasts through the weekend.
I have a server that, due to the amount of data it's moving, tends to trash up the hard drive when I have a power outage or crash. It doesn't have a keyboard or monitor attached to it normally so it's a real pain when I have to boot it back up. I have to hook one up just to hit F to have it fix all the errors. Is there a way to have it do this automatically on boot rather then having to confirm it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have set up a new IP specifically for SSH and configured SSHD_Config accordingly to listen on this new interface and a specific port. However when I reboot SSH is not starting. Looking in the syslog it shows that it is unable to start. It looks like its trying to listen on the interface before it is set up.

I am able to start SSH manually once the server is booted. Do I need to set up my interfaces differently to ensure they are available prior to SSH starting somehow? I don't want to change my ssh config to listen on all addresses.
I have an iSCSI target on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server that is giving me access to 3 x 2TB volumes. I am using LVM to create 1 big volume and using it as a place for my backup software to write to. Upon initial setup I tested to see if the connection would still be there after a reboot, and it was. After going through the trouble of configuring my backup software (ZManda) and doing a few very large backups I had to reboot my SAN (OpenFiler) for hardware reasons. I took my server down while performing the maintenance and brought it back up only after the SAN work was done. Now, the LVM volume is listed as "not found" when booting.
Using iscsiadm I can see the target but LVM doesn't know of any volumes that exist using those targets. I need to get it back up and running and then troubleshoot the reboot issue.
Why would this iptables cause this mail delivery error? I think it's to do with dns lookups not being routed properly... if remove the last rule, mail works fine.
