Hello,
Kernel is 2.6.27.7.
My Problem started as I got called, that login from KDM is not longer
possible. In fact, the KDE login is possible, but soon after entering
the password, a "kbuildsycoca" hangs and takes 100% CPU. Shortly before
this happened, power was abruptly lost.
I rebooted to a live CD. As, for some reason, xfs_check was broken on
that live CD (something with "db" in it was missing), I directly ran
xfs_repair on the broken hard drive and it found some zero byte files
and two files with ELF header, which may be (a part of) library files, I
don't know, as the name wasn't restored.
Is it possible to find out what exactly happened to cause this system to
be unusable? For me it seems like those restored ELF files are
something, needed by KDE to start up properly. Why did library files get
destroyed, the user, using this PC, isn't able to write to? Doesn't this
mean, they don't get into a write cache and even a power loss can't
destroy them?
Yours
Manuel
