Hi,
One 1.3.87 linux fileserver died today. After a reboot, the
filesystem check on vicepa spitted out numerous errors, it "fixed" them
filling lost+found with data, and then after salavage I ended up with
half the volumes missing or corrupted.
I had one backup a few days old which I used to restore the
volumes. I also have a copy of the /vicepa contents from yesterday,
when the server started to behave strangely. Is there a way to use the
/vicepa contents in order to access certain files/directories?
Unfortunately I do not have a copy of the db files.
The db-files do not matter.
If you have a copy of your /vicepa with correct modebits, ownership,
and group settings for the files you may use this instead of your old
/vicepa.
It is possible tar/untar vicep-partitions and to use them after that
again. If you do that on another fileserver you should stop the
corrupted one, start the new one and do a "vos syncvldb <newserver>" in
order to update the volume location database. This will overwrite the
location of each volume found on the new server. If this doesn't work
try "vos syncserv <newserver>" (I never understood which one of those
does what, but one of them does the job).
You need then probably a "fs checkvol" on the client that he gets the
new location.
You should also think about having RO-volumes of your RW-volumes on
other servers in the future. Then you easily can do a "vos convertROtoRW
..." to get again working cell.
Good luck!
