hi, today my desktop machine locked up, because i did something stupid [1] i rebooted, but jfs_fsck-1.1.6 (from ubuntu linux) found corruptions and mounted the fs readonly (sadly the bootprocess continued and so the fsck's output of the first corruptions is gone). i went to runlevel 1, fsck'ed again but now the fs seemed clean. i tried to remount -o rw, but got this error:
ERROR: (device sda5): XT_GETPAGE: xtree page corrupt ok, remounting rw did not succeed, running jfs_fsck again revealed some corruptions: File system object FF4098 is linked as: /etc/mailcap File claims cross linked block(s). cannot repair FF4098. Will release. File system object FF5980 is linked as: /etc/mtab File claims cross linked block(s). cannot repair FF5980. Will release. File system object FF37134 is linked as: /tmp/.gdmVQXJud The path(s) refer to an unallocated file. Will remove.

File system object FF290845 is linked as: /tmp/.X0-lock The path(s) refer to an unallocated file. Will remove. running fsck_jfs once more (with -f) made me believe everything was ok. i fetched the latest jfsutils (1.1.8), rebooted, the boot-process again says something about "permission denied" when trying to cleanup /tmp during boot. i checked again with fsck_jfs, found again a few corruptions, a 2nd run stated the fs is clean now. how comes there are corruptions when fsck says the fs is clean? and: are the above messages signs of trouble ahead? right now i'm running X in the same machine, so problems right now. but the corruptions did cost me some files in /etc too (mailcap, network/interfaces, maybe more...). more info right here: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/prinz64/2.6.12-mm2/jfs/ thanks, Christian. [1] cat /dev/port > /tmp/test, then lockup...don't ask :-) -- BOFH excuse #346: Your/our computer(s) had suffered a memory leak, and we are waiting for them to be topped up. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
