gmirror w/ softupdates fsck problem

2005-03-11 Thread Emanuel Strobl
Hello,

I have one box with several gmirror filesystems. When the box panics I always 
have to reconnect lost inodes and also inconsistent filesystems.
I never had this problem with non gmirrored mountpoints.
Also, the mirrored mountpoints are almost completely idel regarding writes.

Here's an error I don't know how to solve:

** /dev/mirror/dns (NO WRITE)
** Last Mounted on /§DNS
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
MISSING '.'  I=149  OWNER=root MODE=40700

10092 files, 123147 used, 366123 free (5491 frags, 45079 blocks, 1.1% 
fragmentation)

Does anybody know why this error can happen? And how do I solve the 
missing"."?
I thought softupdates guarantees that this cannot happen. Maybe it doesn't 
work in combination with gmirror?

Thanks,

-Harry

Well, at this point you've got vinum started now.

I would fix the raid problem before bothering with an fsck, if
it were me.

fsck problem

2003-02-24 Thread Jaime
I have a RAID-5 array on /home via vinum.  This morning, the
server (running 4.8-PRERELEASE, compiled last week) wouldn't allow anyone
to login via ssh, imap, or console.  So I had someone reboot the server
via control-alt-delete.  Then it said that not all processes would dia,
use ps axl.  Of course, since we couldn't login, this was pointless
advise.  :)  We then used the reset button on the chassis.

As I type, the server is in single user mode.  The fsck commands
result in:
CAN NOT READ: BLK 16

I've looked at
http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/smm/03.fsck/paper.html and found its
information less than encouraging.  Since its said to "seek a guru", I
was hoping that someone here could help my poor little school district.

If this wasn't on vinum, I would assume that my next step would be
to assume a dead drive and remove it and move on.  However, this is a
vinum array.  I'm not sure how it could be a bad drive if the array is
composed of 4 drives.

Any help, pointers, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated.  My entire
school district is effectively dead in the water until this server is
running again.

TIA,
Jaime
