RedHat ES Workstation, 2.6.9-11smp Dell Precision 530 workstation Dell Powervault RAID with 500Gb RAID partition reiserfs 3.6.19 The virtual RAID disk was inadvertantly broken when the Dell powervault was split into two seperate controlers. When the server was brought back up the original virtual disk had to be recreated on the RAID controler. I was surprised that the problem did not wipe out all of the data on the partition but reiserfsck --rebuild-tree had been unable to repiar the partition so it can be mounted. It holds the backups for all servers and pc's in my office. This last run did not abort with bad root block as all previous runs had (4). last run ended with: Pass 3a (looking for lost dir/files): Looking for lost directories: /1956276_1956286/304c28018c1a645410c2905a0c355871semantic_rebuild.c 563 get_next_directory_item get_next_directory_item: item [61312722 61312723 0x2a1 DRCT (2)]: hidden entry 0 '' Aborted
I believe all previous aborts happened in phase 0 but I don't really know if this is a good sign or not. I've run debugreiserfs and gotten this: Filesystem state: consistency is not checked after last mounting Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x5001 of format 3.6 with standard journal Count of blocks on the device: 143372080 Number of bitmaps: 4376 Blocksize: 4096 Free blocks (count of blocks - used [journal, bitmaps, data, reserved] blocks): 143372080 Root block: 0 Filesystem is NOT clean Tree height: 65535 Hash function used to sort names: "r5" Objectid map size 972, max 972 Journal parameters: Device [0x0] Magic [0x5e4c8641] Size 8193 blocks (including 1 for journal header) (first block 18) Max transaction length 1024 blocks Max batch size 900 blocks Max commit age 30 Blocks reserved by journal: 0 Fs state field: 0xfa02: FATAL corruptions exist. sb_version: 2 inode generation number: 23368281 UUID: fbf09431-c46c-4075-bb79-748d7b26f0a0 LABEL: Set flags in SB: ATTRIBUTES CLEAN ************************************ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are proprietary and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
