Fwd: Need help with Data Recovery on Ext4 partitions that became corrupted on running OS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So long story short, I had a server running that had a processor fail
while powered on, causing the file systems to become corrupt. I
replaced the motherboard, processor and power supply just to be on the
safe side. However, I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do now. I
was working sandeen in the OFTC IRC channel, but, on his
recommendation he suggested me to post something to the mailing list.

Lets start off with one drive at a time (I have 4 that are corrupt).
The specific logical drive in question was in RAID1 on a Dell PERC 5/i
card.
If I try to mount this using:
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /media/tmp

It complains in dmesg with the following output:
685621.845207] EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_iget:3888: inode #8:
comm mount: bad extra_isize (18013 != 256)
[685621.845213] EXT4-fs (sda1): no journal found


However, if I run dumpe2fs -f /dev/sda1 I get the following output:

dumpe2fs: Corrupt extent header while reading journal super block


So I attempted to clone the drive to a 2TB backup drive that is empty,
and currently I am having more problems with the cloned drive than I
am with the original.

sandeen said something about using tune2fs to tell it to remove the
has_journal flag, but I might need some assistance with that.

I would appreciate any help that you could give me, as I know my
chances of recovering data are slim, but I would definitely like to
try and recover as much data as I can.

Thanks
Andrew
