Just had one of our systems that is using vinum to create a lsrge file
system crash ... bringing the system back up, the vinum drive is so badly
corrupted that doing an 'fsck' on the device keeps going until such a
point that the lost+found directory has no space left ...
doing a 'mount -f' to get a look at whether its worth working at shows 1
block used out of >8gig, so everything on it is/was lost ... so I figured
I'd do an newfs on the file system, which results in:
demeter# newfs -v /dev/vinum/ftpmirror
Warning: 1020 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/vinum/ftpmirror: 176167940 sectors in 43010 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
86019.5MB in 2689 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 7936 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
write error: 176167940
newfs: wtfs - writecombine: Undefined error: 0
I ended up having to do a 'vinum resetconfig' and 'vinum create' to get
the newfs to work ...
The OS is from August 13th:
4.4-PRERELEASE #5: Mon Aug 13 15:09:31 ADT 2001
Does anyone know of any problems, from around that data, that would
explain such a magnitude of corruption? Its the worst I've seen to date,
on any version of Unix I've used :(
