Any documentation on this? Some of us can't make it to those conferences.

I was in Ted Ts'o's "Recovering from Linux Hard Drive Disasters" (https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa13/training-program/full-training-program#T4) at LISA one year. Watching him recover data from a crashed fs is a thing of beauty. You CAN do amazing things. I'd really recommend that class if you're going to LISA. --Matt On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 10:52 AM, David Lang <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: In practice, you need to be quite an expert to do anything other than -y, and even then you will probably only do so if the disk has data on it that you cannot recover any other way. for just about any production situation, you would want to build a new system or restore from replica/backup instead of doing a manual fsck, but that assumes that you _have_ the backup and can correctly recreate the server, which should be the case, but sometimes isn't ;-p David Lang On Thu, 3 Oct 2013, Kevin Sandy wrote: We recently had some issues with one of our filers that wreaked all kinds of havoc on our systems. Many had to be rebooted to recover from read-only root filesystems, and quite a few of those needed a manual fsck. Which led me to wonder: When faced with filesystem inconsistencies at boot, does anyone do anything other than just 'fsck -y' on the device? I've never known anyone to do anything else, but I would have to assume some do, otherwise wouldn't it be automatic? -- kevin _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/ -- LITTLE GIRL: But which cookie will you eat FIRST?
