What is the proper way to repair filesystems with fsck?

2005-12-13 Thread Calzaretta Henry - hcalza
Hello, I have twice experienced a problem where at boot time fsck determined that the root filesystem (ext3) was broken. fsck was run at boot time because the system determined that root has been mounted 26 times without being checked. The system was up and running minutes previous to this

You mounted read/write. Never fsck a mounted filesystem, or one that is mounted read-write. Next time, mount / read-only: mount -o remount,ro / . Then do a fsck. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Calzaretta Henry - hcalza Sent: Tuesday,

Better yet, don't mount it at all, if you can avoid it. (You can't avoid it for the root file system unless you IPL a starter kernel and initrd.) Just fsck the file system while it is unmounted. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of

You would have to build another, larger, initrd and copy the contents of the old one over to it. It shouldn't be hard to do. In the meantime, a bug report to Novell would be a good idea. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ceruti,

You need the compat package installed. IBM builds packages on a system with it installed, but doesn't properly prereq it in the the RPM. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL

You'd be looking for glibc-2.3.4-2.9.s390x.rpm. Since this is a 64-bit system, I would have expected that to already be installed. Is the DBI package from Red Hat, or somewhere else? -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Gentry Sent:
