Re: ext3 mount failing due to bad superblock.

2013-11-09 Thread Jude DaShiell
If you have your original debian net-inst dvd, it's probably time to 
put the dvd into the drive then reboot the computer into rescue mode.  
Then run fsck.ext4 -c /dev/sda1 enter and watch the fun.  This will 
use badblocks nondestructively and set off a repair operation which 
should end up with you having all of your data recovered.  Figure you 
have a bad hard drive on its last legs and backup what you can for a 
later and better install on a new hard drive would be what I would do in 
your situation.  Once the drive is alive again, you may want to install 
and run smartd-utils on it and check those log files since they'll 
provide warnings.  If you can get smartd-utils to e-mail you so much the 
better.

 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
 filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
 is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
 e2fsck -b 8193 device
 
 
 Is there some way to recover filesystem (or at least data contained in it)?

Funny thing (actually not so) - my optic drive is dead. But why do I
have to reboot
into recovery mode? System itself works correctly - /boot is on sda2
and everything
else is on LVM at sda3. (Windows 7 was on sda1 but it died due to...
lack of space;
srlsy - it started taking full 30GB of disk space after all updates).

 Then run fsck.ext4 -c /dev/sda1 enter and watch the fun.  This will
 use badblocks nondestructively and set off a repair operation which
 should end up with you having all of your data recovered.

Running this in recovery mode gets me the same message as running it normally
(as it should - after all sda1 is not mounted) which is the same as my
original mail.

I also tried all possible combinations of e2fsck -b superblock -
result is the same.

If I understand you correctly that you can boot and use your system without
using the affected drive, then you don't need to boot from alternate media
to troubleshoot the filesystem; but I would still recommend it (can you boot
from a USB flash drive?).  If you must boot from the installed distro, it
might be better to boot in single-user (recovery) mode.  The reason for
this is that most distributions are configured to automatically access
drives and filesystems, if only to probe them to determine what filesystems
are available.  In general, when troubleshooting filesystems and hard
drives, it's best only to access them in a very controlled way.  But please
consider using a live boot distribution that is specifically tailored for
this kind of work, such as parted magic, system rescue cd, etc.

You haven't given enough information, so it's hard to say for sure what is
the problem, forcing us to speculate heavily.  You should definitely check
the SMART data on the drive (use smartmontools package) to determine the
status of the drive hardware.  The output of dumpe2fs will be helpful.  Also
check your _entire_ kernel log, looking for any ATA or other errors that
would indicate drive/controller failures, as well as filesystem messages.
Nonetheless, there are 3 main possibilities:

A. hardware failure: your drive is hosed; there are a number of
sub-possibilities here: controller, cable, drive's controller card, drive
platter surface, drive head, etc.

B. software failure: the drive is working fine but somehow the data on it
became corrupted, either due to a bug in the filesystem software, through a
user-induced error such as writing to /dev/sdX, system crash, or some other
possibilities.

C. The filesystem is fine but you aren't mounting it correctly.  Are you
sure that you created an ext* filesystem and not some other kind?  Try using
mount without -t.  Are you sure that you're mounting the right device file?
 The right partition?

You will treat the A and B cases differently: if it's (A), I recommend
*against* trying to recover any data in-place as has been suggested in some
other posts here.  Running fsck on a dying drive can make the situation
worse (if you do it anyhow, try using the -c option as suggested elsewhere).
 You should rather make an image of the drive; you need some spare space on
which to make the image.  You can use something as simple as dd, but if you
encounter hardware errors while reading, try something like ddrescue.  If
you still have no luck, you can move the drive to a different machine or
even replace its on-drive controller card with one from an _identical_ model
-- I have successfully done this but it is difficult and not recommended
unless you have some _very_ valuable data on that drive.

From then on, you can treat (A) and (B) more or less the same: you might use
fsck, debugfs, etc. on the filesystem, but before modifying it, you might
want to make a copy image [in case (A) a copy of the copy] before modifying
it -- or you might just run the tools in-place.  Hard to say with the
information you've provided, but from the sounds of it you may not have much
luck -- your filesystem sounds pretty sick.

If that's the case, you'll want to recover the contents rather than the
filesystem; tools like PhotoRec, foremost, scalpel [fork of foremost], etc.
will usually recover some of your files.  Lots of options here:
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Tools:Data_Recovery

I should mention that in case (B) [no hardware failure], if you just want to
jump to recovering the contents rather than the filesystem, it's not
critical to make a copy image; you can just recover straight from the hard
drive.

Good luck,
-- David

What? Of course it can't work. Hibernation suspends the OS in a state
from which it can continue later. Quite correctly it doesn't unmount
filesystems, as this would close all open file descriptors on that file
system. This in turn could en up killing processes - quite possibly
including your session and maybe all system daemons. Now you're in a
state where you might as well have restarted from scratch, negating all
the advantages of suspend/hibernation.

If you want to use the same filesystem between any two OS installations
(whether Linux and Linux, or Windows and Linux, or any other combination)
you must not (and cannot) use hibernation unless you first unmount the
relevant filesystems.

Absolutely.  This proves that the problem lies on the Ubuntu side.
If /dev/sda2 is present in /etc/fstab on your Ubuntu system, either
directly or indirectly via a UUID, and Ubuntu mounts that file system
automatically on boot, then it should umount it automatically on
shutdown.  That is obviously not happening.  The problem should be
pursued on the Ubuntu forums.

 defecto. Además los problemas con ext4 de perdidas de información ya han
 sido arreglados en las últimas versiones.

 En resumen, si lo que quieres es ganar rendimiento yo apostaría por ext4.

Gracias a todos por sus amables respuestas.
Tomé la arriesgada decisión de dejarlo en ext4... esperemos a ver
como funcionan las cosas (hasta el momento bien)
si algo falla o molesta ya les contaré como y que paso.

Re: ext3 o ext4 para disco de 1 tb?

2010-08-07 Thread Jose Pablo Rojas
yo tambien soy del pensamiento que a ext4 hay que darle un poco más de
tiempo para que llegue a su punto,
en lo personal, en mi laptop tengo ext3 y cada cierto tiempo me da problemas
la particion de que indica que está en uso y la única solución es bajar
todos los servicios que pueden estar haciendo uso de ella y hacer un e2fsck
para que repare los inodos con problemas y volver a la normalidad.

 Si es un equipo casero y no tienes datos altamente crítico te recomiendo
 que uses ext4, se nota bastante la diferencia. Además hay varios benchmarks

 Ná, yo siempre monto ReiserFS. Ext4 es demasiado novedoso para mi
 gusto, un par de añitos más de rodaje y estará en su punto.
 ¿Alguna razón para elegir ReiserFS?
 Dos razones y media, principalmente.

 1/ Trabaja bien con archivos pequeños por lo que me viene de perlas para 
 los servidores (Apache y Postfix).

 2/ Se recupera bien de los apagones a lo bruto y he tenido varios (aunque 
 no tengo ningún equipo sin un SAI detrás, cuando el sistema se queda 
 frito pues no hay más remedio que hacer un reset). ReiserFS no sólo es 
 rápido en hacer el chequeo sino que nunca lo he tenido que reparar de 
 forma manual.

 La media razón es el tiempo de chequeo de ext3, sí... no hay quien lo 
 aguante :-)
  
 Quizás la única desventaja del ext3 es el tiempo de chequeo, no ? Lo
 bueno es que con linux no tenemos que reiniciar mucho ^ ^
 La familia ext[n] no me termina de convencer. Siempre he usado ReiserFS 
 en las particiones de sistema y en las pocas ocasiones que he puesto ext3 
 como sistema de archivos raíz, he notado cierta lentitud. 

 Ext3 lo uso principalmente para los volúmenes de datos -donde se 
 almacenan ficheros de gran tamaño- porque es estable y robusto, bien 
 conocido y con herramientas de recuperación disponibles. No me atrevería 
 a pasarlos a ext4, al menos no de momento. Ext4 tiene un rodaje de 
 apenas 2 años contra los 9 años de ext3. Quizá en un sistema casero no 
 importe tanto uno u otro pero en un sistema de archivos personalmente 
 valoro la estabilidad y la fiabilidad ante cualquier otra consideración.

 Y mientras ReiserFS siga estando disponible y me siga dando buen 
 servicio, lo seguiré utilizando como sistema de archivos principal.

Buenas.

	Pensaba que esto venia de serie en los GNU/linux. ¿Esta dentro de ese 
paquete? Entiendo que es esto:


Pulsamos las teclas ALT y la de “Imprimir pantalla”, y sin soltarlas 
vamos escribiendo poco a poco REISUB. Con esto logramos reiniciar 
nuestro sistema de manera segura ya que según vamos pulsando las teclas 
vamos mandando una orden a nuestro sistema, tales como:


R.- Devuelve el control al teclado (Raw)
E.- Manda todos los procesos al term, es decir, los hace terminar (End)
I.- Manda los procesos al Kill, es decir, los mata.
S.- Sincroniza el disco duro (Sync)
U.- Desmonta todos los sistemas de ficheros (Unmount)
B.- Por último, reinicia el ordenador. (reBoot)

Que raro, yo perdí unos archivos usando ext3 y cuando me puse a
investigar resulta que por usar journaling (la diferencia agregada
entre ext2 y ext3) no tenes muchas posibilidades de recuperar un
archivo borrado y supuse que en ext4 valía la misma regla.
Por lo que entendí y recuerdo (y corrijanme si esto no es así) que lo
único que podías hacer era recuperar de a pedazos de información
(recorriendo los inodos o usando el dd o algo similar) y ver si de eso
podrías rescatar algo.

Me volví a fijar en unas FAQS de ext3
http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html

Y las técnicas de recuperación que hay dando vueltas
http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html

(les debo estos links en español)

Como funciona esto en ext4?
La verdad que es un tema super interesante si uno va a guardar tanta
información concentrada en un solo disco.
En mi caso es un disco de 1.5 tb con una sola particion ext3 y usando
algoritmos de backup con historial de forma regular para no perder
archivos.

Yo en realidad no sabia mucho acerca de la recuperacion de archivos borrados
ni particiones dañadas, me puse a investigar cdo me ocurrio ese accidente,
de todo ello consegui probar con extundelete,Foremost, scalpel, dd, y
testdisk que ademas viene con photorec, q apesar del nombre sirve para
recuperar diferentes formatos de archivos, no solamente fotos, las tecnicas
utilizadas son esas de recuperar recorriendo los nodos, me fue tan bien que
no tan solo recupere los q habia borrado x accidente sino tambien recupere
cosas q habian sido borradas hace muuucho tiempo, cdo compre el disco. esta
experiencia fue buena xq apartir de ese momento comence a utilizar dd para
sacar imagenes d disco incluidas las tablas de particiones y guardarlas en
dvd, ademas de utilizar rsync en otro disco portatil. en este momento uso
unicamente ext4 en todos mis discos. en mi primer comentario dije q se
notaba mucho la diferencia entre ext3 y ext4 y no aclare en que aspecto,
bueno me referia a la velocidad de acceso ademas de la posibilidad de
recuperar datos.

como sistema de archivos raíz, he notado cierta lentitud. 

Ext3 lo uso principalmente para los volúmenes de datos -donde se 
almacenan ficheros de gran tamaño- porque es estable y robusto, bien 
conocido y con herramientas de recuperación disponibles. No me atrevería 
a pasarlos a ext4, al menos no de momento. Ext4 tiene un rodaje de 
apenas 2 años contra los 9 años de ext3. Quizá en un sistema casero no 
importe tanto uno u otro pero en un sistema de archivos personalmente 
valoro la estabilidad y la fiabilidad ante cualquier otra consideración.

Y mientras ReiserFS siga estando disponible y me siga dando buen 
servicio, lo seguiré utilizando como sistema de archivos principal.

Saludos,

Re: ext3 external journal

Hi,

today i realised that tune2fs is able to change the uuid of the journal
(partition/fs?) so i was able to fsck the volume and i am looking
forward to get it back online within the day.

Thouh i am still unclear about the semantics of the 'force' flag of
tune2fs.
Any hints?

 Both computers run Debian Lenny. The laptop runs Sawfish while the work

 a FSTAB entry to allow this without Sudo. Gnome does an automatic mount. I
 don't have superuser privilege on the work computer.

 I am willing to use non-Ext3 filesystems, I just want RWX-RWX-RWX-style file

I use tar.  Leave the format in FAT.  Make tar file (with compression
usually).  Copy tar file to USB drive.  The tar file will contain
permissions.

You might even be able to use tar straight to the flash drive like
  tar cvf /dev/sda files...
I used floppies like that.  But that gives you only one archive per
USB.

I think you have missed my point.  exFat has advantages that have 
nothing to do with wear-leveling, etc.  exFat is not a flash file 
system, is is a file system, period.  It addresses some of the problems 
and limitation of FAT, and doesn't suffer as badly when removed without 
unmounting.  It is intended for *removable* storage, not necessarily flash.

ext3 is not significantly different in this respect from most other FSes

I disagree.  Linux already has jffs2 for embedded flash applications. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFFS2


However flash drives have their own controller:

Removable flash memory cards and USB flash drives have built-in 
controllers to perform wear-levelling and error correction so use of a 
specific flash file system does not add any benefit.

Sorry, I got threads confused, I did not mean to hijack. I was thinking 
of something else.


I stick by my remarks, in context.  ExFat is a very appropriate FS for 
removable drives.  Flash is not particularly relevant.

 If you normally use ext3, use ext2(ext3 without journalizing) on your

 Recently, I re-partitioned my flash drive. I made one FAT32 partition, and
 one Ext3 partition.

Is ext3 on a flash medium really a good idea? At least cheap flash
drives probably don't have smart wear levelling.

 The problem is that when I transfer files from my laptop
 to my work computer, the UIDs on the Ext3 partition are used for the
 permissions, so I am not able to access the data. How can I fix this?

You can't unless the UIDs on both systems are equal. As far as I know,
all filesystems with UNIX-style permissions only store UIDs, not
usernames.

Funny thing is, the colon is a restricted character in Mac filesystems,
too... the colon at least until OS X (and possibly still in the finder)
use : as a filename seperator...

I would create a sparse bundle (formatted as HFS+) on the Samba share  
and back up to that. This would mean an extra mount/unmount to access  
the filesystem, but you may be able to automate those steps depending  
on what your back-up process is.


I don't think you can create the bundle on the Samba share because of  
some unsupported locking or somesuch, so create it on your Mac and  
copy it over. (I think you will see an error on the copy, too, but the  
sparse bundle should work anyway in my experience. Also note that size  
you give to the sparse bundle is just a maximum. It will actually be  
quite small until you add files, so don't worry about creating it  
locally and moving it.)


Feel free to e-mail me directly if you need help with any of this. (or  
Google it. There are quite a few good articles out there.)

This isn't entirely true; the reason it's restricted it that it's used to denote
Alternate Data Streams.

In fact, NTFS supports the same filenames as ext3 or
other Posix-compatible filesystems, but the Win32 API does not. This means it's
possible to create a file that cannot be read/changed/deleted from within
Windows, unless you're using SFU, which is unavailable on 64-bit Windows. Even
Cygwin can't help since it's layered on top of the Win32 subsystem. Yes, I speak
from bitter experience :-(.

 and I wouldn't be surprised if this is reflected in their filesharing
 protocol as well.

 J.

This doesn't seem right however - I distinctly recall spending several hours
trying to figure out why I couldn't copy some files from a Samba share in
Windows, and eventually realising that I'd copied them from a Linux system
without checking for things like restricted file names, and sure enough some of
them had colons.

If it's a Samba restriction, then it's not in the protocol - maybe there's an
option that can be set in the Samba server?

Olá pessoal,

Consegui resolver este problema.

Existe um comando especialmente criado para estas situações é o 
resize2fs -p /dispositivo que está presente no e2fsprogs. Antes de 
executá-lo é necessário rodar o e2fsck -f sobre os dispositivos.

Olá Carlos,

A saída do parted -l não mudou nada em relação a que havia enviado no 
email anterior pois isso já estava correto reconhecendo os 60GB 
(partição 4):

Number  Start   End SizeType   File system  Sinalizador
 1  32,3kB  1003MB  1003MB  primária   linux-swap
 2  1003MB  16,0GB  15,0GB  primária   ext3
 3  16,0GB  20,0GB  4006MB  extendida
 5  16,0GB  16,5GB  502MB   lógica ext3 boot
 4  20,0GB  80,0GB  60,0GB  primária   ext3

O que foi resolvido, é o reconhecimento no restante do espaço adcionado 
à partição depois que executei o Gparted para os 60GB:


Sist. Arq.Tam   Usad Disp  Uso% Montado em
/dev/sda4  55G   13G   40G  24% /

Através do resize2fs os Linux conseguir enxergar o espaço adicional.

Olá Carlos,

Neste mesmo hd tenho outro S.O instalado. Por algum motivo que ainda não

Mas realmente, esta partição está sobrando ai. Provavelmente eu a irei

Olá André,

Seguem as informações que vc pediu. Esta é a partição que executei o gparted

df -h

anteriores.

If you unmounted the volumed quickly after the deletion, then Google
for ext3grep.  It *may* recover your file.  If you did *not* quickly
unmount the partition, then all is lost.

Q: How can I recover (undelete) deleted files from my ext3 partition?

Actually, you can't! This is what one of the developers, Andreas Dilger, 
said about it:


In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a crash, 
it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas
ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks 
the inode as deleted and leaves the block pointers alone.


Your only hope is to grep for parts of your files that have been 
deleted and hope for the best.

That's the official position, but read the following fascinating story
