Uh-oh... fsck can't repair my files-partition!

2002-10-22 Thread Pascal Giannakakis
Hello,

after a total systemfreeze - probably due to a new installed kernel - i had
to do a few resets. That bashed a few partiotions, among them the /files,
which is my largest and most valuable with around 30 GB.

All could be cleaned except of files, here is the output:

--
# fsck /files
** /dev/ad0s2e (NO WRITE)
** Last Mounted on /files
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK
SALVAGE? no

SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD
SALVAGE? no

BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS
SALVAGE? no

5499 files, 23301161 used, 4289037 free (1517 frags, 535940 blocks, 0.0%
fragmentation)
--

What am i gonna do now? =(

BTW: i can mount and access the fs, but fear not everything survived. OS is
5.0-CURRENT.

Howabout answering these questions with 'yes' instead of 'no'? That always
works for me. In fact, I have a hard drive on it's last legs, the other day
it apparently crashed, I hard-reset the computer, ran fsck -y on that disk
and finally after running this about 8 times it finally was marked clean.

LOL

There is no prompt to type y or n, and it is the same with fsck -y. Sorry
for not mentioning this. Meanwhile i got the tip to try...

fsck -y /dev/ad0s2

 Dismount the volume before running fsck.  The (NO WRITE) message means
 that the filesystem was in use or otherwise read-only.

YES :D

Thank you guys, that's been the reason - needed to umount first.
