Hello Guys, I am with a huge problem with a server here. I have a contingency file server with RAID 5 ... I replace a disk that failed yesterday .... The RAID was rebuild ... Then I umount the disk and run this command #fsck.ext3 -vfy /dev/sda1 At the final output I have this : Inode 29294598 has illegal block(s). Clear? yes Illegal block #12 (879226656) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #13 (3315620004) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #14 (2340312175) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #15 (3564345759) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #16 (510048934) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #17 (2568278150) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #18 (538064865) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #19 (2530322371) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #20 (3624553377) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #21 (4055744104) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Illegal block #22 (2167778488) in inode 29294598. CLEARED. Too many illegal blocks in inode 29294598. Clear inode? yes Restarting e2fsck from the beginning... Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks... fsck.ext3: Invalid argument while checking ext3 journal for /dev/sda1 Well, I try to run the same command again and I see this : #fsck.ext3 -vfy /dev/sda1 e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks... e2fsck: A block group is missing an inode table while checking ext3 journal for /dev/sda1 This message make me nervous, so I run tune2fs: # tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 tune2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: <not available> Filesystem UUID: 7b5ebdf0-a2bf-4c0f-aef1-85a21199392f Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal filetype sparse_super Filesystem state: clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 29310976 Block count: 58611136 Reserved block count: 2930556 Free blocks: 11312643 Free inodes: 28526893 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 16384 Inode blocks per group: 512 Last mount time: Thu Feb 22 10:30:04 2001 Last write time: Thu Feb 22 17:54:18 2001 Mount count: 5 Maximum mount count: 34 Last checked: Tue Jul 12 12:20:49 2005 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) Next check after: Sun Jan 8 13:20:49 2006 Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 128 Journal UUID: <none> Journal inode: 8 Journal device: 0x0000 First orphan inode: 0 Then, I try to mount the filesystem : # mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /backup mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems The fdisk returns me : # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 29187 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 29187 234444546 8e Linux LVM -> This is my RAID 5 !!!!!
