[ilugd] Redhat 9 Server Recovery - HELP
Hi folks, I am running redhat linux 9(Kernel 2.4.20-8) server on Intel P4 system,with Western Digital 40GB Hard Disk(WD400EB-00CPF0, ATA DISK). This server is acting as Firewall Gateway. Running squid vsftp for local users. When i power on my system this morning , it shows below message (and as per message i run fsck /dev/hda without any argument/switch. For your information i have added fdisk -l df -h (All output prior to system CRASH). Checking root filesystem /= 49% /: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. /:UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY (i.e without a or p options) [FAILED] *** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot *** when you leave the shell Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue): (Repair filesystem)1# fsck /dev/hda fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) Couldnt find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks Fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/had The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.

(Repair filesystem)1# fsck /dev/hda fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) This is not correct. Specify the device file of that file system not the complete disk, so the correct command will be.. # fsck /dev/hda5 OR # fsck -A(to check all file systems) Ajay ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] Redhat 9 Server Recovery - HELP
Why would you ever do a fsck /dev/hda It should be fsck /dev/hda1 (/dev/hdapartition nuber) or you may do a fsck / Kapil ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
