 Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2002 8:13 am Post subject: EVMS & EXT3 == corruption, anybody? |
 |
|
I'm not quite sure where to post it, but I figure here's a good place... [Gentoo 1.4_rc1 on dual AMD MP system, CFLAGS="-march=athlon-mp -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -O3 -pipe"]
I am getting corruption on one of my ext3 partitions... specifically, "funny thing is, I've never had corruptions before; the only different thing now is that I'm running EVMS, although that partition isn't an EVMS partition. I'm not sure what the problem is (that drive might be dying, it's one of those infamous IBM 75GXP Deskstars..!!), but something's amuck. Here are some guesses:
1.) EVMS issue.... anyone else experiencing any quirks with EVMS?
2.) drive is dying... VERY possible, as that drive series doesn't have a great track record in reliability. I have /myStuph mounted on that HD, and that's the only partition on it.
3.) Possibly an ext3/gentoo-sources issue? It's happening only in subdirectories that have a LOT of tar/gzip 'd files in them. When I run updatedb, I get lots of errors like this:
/usr/bin/find: /myStuph/Themes/gkrellm/Mozilla-moddern: No such file or directory
and when I manually go into that directory and run ls -la, I get this:
ls: Mozilla-moddern: No such file or directory
Anyone else ever get similar issues? How do I fix this without reformatting the drive?

er, nevermind the question about fixing it, I didn't mean to post that (yes I know about e2fsck and I'm trying it....)

darn, e2fsck didn't fix it. either I'm going to hafta copy my non-corrupt data and reformat the partition, or maybe I'm not using e2fsck properly? I tried all the different variations, like -c (block checking) and the auto-fix one... any tips?
e2fsck -v -y /dev/hdf2 didn't find anything broken
e2fsck -<whatever option for auto fix> didn't work either

have you tried running badblocks on it?
it'll check to see if there are any physical bad blocks. |

Hrm, no I haven't... but doesn't the -c option for e2fsck do that as well? Or is that something else?

I'm not necessarily sure. I usually use the tools seperately from one another, honestly.
I trust the output being seen by my own eyes |

I had a problem with ext3 running on an EVMS-volume on which I got a kernel-panic.
Converting it back to ext2 with tune2fs at least fixed the problem temporarily. |
