From: houghi on 14 May 2007 17:47 I have a LFS over two drives and get the following error when I want to mount it: root(a)penne : mount /media/backup/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/system/LVM, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so The latter giives me: May 14 23:30:08 penne kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal May 14 23:30:08 penne kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: using ordered data mode May 14 23:30:08 penne kernel: reiserfs: using flush barriers May 14 23:30:09 penne kernel: hdf: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } May 14 23:30:09 penne kernel: hdf: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=62992674, high=3, low=12661026, sector=62992669 May 14 23:30:09 penne kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown May 14 23:30:09 penne kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdf, sector 62992669 May 14 23:30:09 penne kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: warning: sh-459: unable to read journal header May 14 23:30:09 penne kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: warning: sh-2022: reiserfs_fill_super: unable to initialize journal space As this is over two drives and LVM, what should I do to solve this?

Apparently I need to do the following: However there I get: Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem. If you have bad blocks, we advise you to get a new hard drive, because once you get one bad block that the disk drive internals cannot hide from your sight,the chances of getting more are generally said to become much higher (precise statistics are unknown to us), and this disk drive is probably not expensive enough for you to you to risk your time and data on it. If you don't want to follow that follow that advice then if you have just a few bad blocks, try writing to the bad blocks and see if the drive remaps the bad blocks (that means it takes a block it has in reserve and allocates it for use for of that block number). If it cannot remap the block, use badblock option (-B) with reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly. bread: Cannot read the block (8210): (Input/output error). Warning... fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/system/LVM exited with signal 6. fsck.reiserfs /dev/system/LVM failed (status 0x8). Run manually! </quote> I do not believe it to be a hardwrae problem, but I also do not know how to run it manualy, even after reading up on the manpages. houghi -- From the day the male foetus' hands grow long enough to grasp at their 'third leg', until the man in question is dead and buried, the penis is a constant source of amusement and amazement to those of the male gender. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A219061 |
