Hi Bob,
We now have gfs2_edit up and running and have been able to get an idea of how the ondisk structure works.. We are modifying values as you suggest then running fsck. We are finding that after running fsck the values we have modified have been reverted back to before our change.. Maybe we're changing the wrong thing? Here's what we are doing.. Is this something like the right track? ------------- number of Resource Groups: 584 # gfs2_edit -p rindex /san2/sda.backup |more ----------- RG #1 ri_addr 0 0x0 ri_length 0 0x0 ri_data0 0 0x0 ri_data 0 0x0 ri_bitbytes 65827 0x10123 ----------- RG#1 - rsrc grp hdr 65827 before editing: Block #65827 (0x10123) of 39321600 (0x2580000) (rsrc grp hdr) (p.1 of 6) 10123000 01161970 00000002 00000000 00000000 [...p............] 10123010 000000C8 00000000 00000000 0000FFF8 [................] 10123020 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123030 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123040 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123050 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123060 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123070 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123080 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123090 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 101230A0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] updated: Block #65827 (0x10123) of 39321600 (0x2580000) (rsrc grp hdr) (p.1 of 6) 10123000 01161970 00000002 00000000 00000000 [...p............] 10123010 000000C8 00000000 00000000 0000FFF8 [................] 10123020 0000FFFF 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123030 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123040 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123050 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123060 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123070 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123080 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF 00000000 00000000 [................] 10123090 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] 101230A0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [................] ran fsck after used inodes value update, results: [...] ondisk and fsck bitmaps differ at block 66276 Succeeded. ondisk and fsck bitmaps differ at block 66277 Succeeded. ondisk and fsck bitmaps differ at block 66278 Succeeded. ondisk and fsck bitmaps differ at block 66279 Succeeded.
