What difference could a particular processor architecture possibly make?
In other words: do you have specific problems in mind that could occur?

I just borked my libs during use of shake while the system was booted.
Running it, and the screen went nuts.
Rebooted, and my libc was gone... yay
Seriosuly folks... try to do this from a live CD if you can...

why doesn't shake refuse to shake files which are in use? It should shake what it can and leave the rest alone. Isn't that what any sane program should do? This, IMO, is a major problem. |

| I used version 0.27, the latest. I shook my whole harddrive while it was all mounted, no problems. If it was in use it gave a warning and then passed the file. |

I think I know what's going on here (at least this part I know I @#$%ed up, I hope bigun89 figured out how to fix it... did my method work for you?):
-o0 (--old 0) option considered harmful on partition with libs being used!
Do it without that option, or get another "partition" to run shake from, like a livecd. ...well, perhaps a "defrag diskette" is in order here. Of course, it'd help if shake figured out what was going on. As if watching all the programs you might be using die as shake clobbers their libs wasn't enough of a clue.

My commandline to run shake looked like this:
So, no commandline options.
To note, I ran it exactly the same way on another machine with no problems, it seems that somehow this little problem is left to 'chance', I'm not sure.
At any rate, your solution got me to the point that I could emerge glibc, but beyond that, emerge refused to work due to some function missing... I'm not sure. So I'm emerging crap in reverse: python, gcc, then glibc. It's been working on it since I've left for work, I'll let you know how it went when I get back home.

I seem to be able to get my system to emerge python and gcc just fine, but as soon as it gets to glibc, it fouls up. Emerge and a bunch of other programs stop workingas soon as I do. And I'm getting the same error this fella is getting:

I know this is alpha software, but it seems that i can't really use it. It runs through and it seems like it's working for about 5 min, but then it just kicks out an error on a random file and just stops. Is there any way for it just to skip files and move on if it doesn't like them? Also, how's the software going. I like the idea. I hope development continues.
thnx,

What are the shake parameters to shake all files no matter of size, age and and number of fragments ?

This sort of problems are more likely to result from a system/hardware problem triggered by sHaKe.
That being said I would really like to help you, but I don't understand what's going on  . Maybe you should copy a working /usr/lib and /lib from another system into /tmp/lib, change LD_PATH to make it include /tmp/lib and bootstrap from that.

Could you tell me the name of that file, and of the error ?
| W3BMAST3R101 wrote: | | I hope development continues. |
Yes it do ! It makes a long time since I hadn't recieved a bug report, so sHaKe don't changed two much over last weeks, but I'm ready to fix yours. |

Hello,
I would like to shake all my partitions on my amd64 system.
Before I do it, I would like a comment on my fstab :
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults,pri=2 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/cooker xfs noatime 1 1
/dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults,pri=3 0 0
/dev/sdb2 / reiserfs user_xattr,noatime 0 0
/dev/sdc2 swap swap defaults,pri=2 0 0
/dev/sdc3 /boot ext2 noatime 1 1
/dev/sdc4 /mnt/gentoo xfs noatime 1 1
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
Should I change anything before shaking ?
Thank you very much |

Yes, you should change the above line into
| Code: | | /dev/sdb2 / reiserfs notail,user_xattr 0 0 |
, add user_xattr and remove noatime to others partitions that you want to shake, like in
| Code: | | /dev/sdc4 /mnt/gentoo xfs user_xattr 1 1 |
Then use your system a day or two (to generate atimes) before shaking it. |

Thank. I don't have user_xattr for XFS and I can't find it in the kernel menuconfig, maybe that's not for amd64 ? |

Sorry  I forgot that user_xattr were enabled by default on xfs.
| Code: | | /dev/sdc4 /mnt/gentoo xfs default 1 1 |
should do the trick. |

From now on I'm going to ignore the issue of disk fragmentation. I ran shake and got tons of errors, then a kernel panic when I rebooted.
I know, this isn't helpful information for you to fix a possible bug, but I didn't write anything down.
Anyway, I'm writing this from an ubuntu install (until I have enough time too reinstall gentoo eventually) and using photorec to see what I can recover.
I think if this program has the ability to mess things up, it should come with a warning and some safeguards |

 The problem is that Shake use only documented syscall()s, call them on regular files and sp should not be hable to do that.
For now I think that problems (two if I remember well) occured on systems which would have failed any other intensive tasks on the whole hard disk.
I could add a warning to tell that shake should be run only after a fsck, but if fsck fail instead of shake it will be worst.
That said, I am really sorry for your hard disk. Magicrescue usually give good results, but installing Ubuntu probably wrote over your old datas.
If you installed it on another partition, the old one could be saved by fsck... (mail me if you want some help about that).
If all cases, the next tools you should try are "smartcl -t long", to test your hard disk, and memtest86+ . If they succeed, then the problem was in the filesystem and should not occur again.
If you have time to loose, you could run Shake again on your ubuntu before installing gentoo over it.
And by the way : which filesystem/kernel was it ? on which hardware ? |

on reiser4, I don't see any option for xattr in kernel and shake give operation not permitted errors for user_xattr, so what's the issue?
EDIT: okay, tried with -X, but now shake segfaults at two places and after that glibc is kind of gone. why is that?
