Dear all, My system is using following setup: PC with Intel P4 OS: Mandrake Linux 8.0 10Gb HDD for OS 2x 78GB HDD IBM Deskstar for RAID 3ware Escalade 6200 IDE Raid controller (lives in a PCI slot)
I have a problem: on bootup I got this message with regards to one HDD connected to the RAID1 Error reading block 8126559 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resultet in short read) while doing inode scan /dev/sda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY (i.e., without -a or -p options) Failed to check filesystem. Do you want to repair errors? (beware, you can loose data) I have managed to start up and ar logged in as root. All my disks are mounted exept for /dev/sda5. I have tried e2fsck /dev/sda5 and it runs until block 8126559. Then it told me Error on block 8126559 (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted inshort read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error <y>? I typed y and it got me one block further. After about 200 y's more it got more complicated and it asked to fix errors. I have then done a control+c in order to stop this. Is there a suggested method of going ahead. I have had a look at the e2fsck man pages, but I would like some advise on how to continue. Many thanks, Norman
