May 29, 201115 yr I am trying to delete files on a drive that I haven't had problems on doing until a few days ago. I keep getting a Windows error that I don't have permissions to delete the files. This has never happened before. Reading through the forums, it looks like I need to run reiserfsck on the drive but it's not working for me. Here is what I am trying and what is happening: PhenixHomeServ login: root Password: Linux 2.6.32.9-unRAID. root@PhenixHomeServ:~# samba stop root@PhenixHomeServ:~# umount /dev/sdh umount: /dev/sdh: not mounted root@PhenixHomeServ:~# reiserfsck /dev/sdh reiserfsck 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com) ************************************************************* ** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails ** ** please email bug reports to [email protected], ** ** providing as much information as possible -- your ** ** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck ** ** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, ** ** check the syslog file for any related information. ** ** If you would like advice on using this program, support ** ** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. ** ************************************************************* Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/sdh Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/sdh. Failed to open the filesystem. If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is valid and it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the superblock is corrupted and you need to run this utility with --rebuild-sb. root@PhenixHomeServ:~# What am I missing? Or is there something else I should be doing to fix this issue on deleting files? I am able to delete files on other drives without a problem, just this one drive I can't seem to modify.
May 29, 201115 yr Author Looks like running reiserfsck on the drive did not help. It completed, I tried to delete some files and I am getting this error: You need permission to peform this action. You require permissions from PHENIXHOMESERV\root to make changes to this folder Any ideas on what I should do next?
May 29, 201115 yr Author Try running the New Permissions Utility. Is that for 4.7 or is that for version 5? I am running 4.7.
May 29, 201115 yr Author Post your syslog. Had to zip it up as a text file as it's too large to post. Log.zip
May 30, 201115 yr What reiserfsck commands did you run? They should be performed on /dev/mdX, where X is the disk number in order to maintain parity. In this case disk6, md6, is the problem drive.
May 30, 201115 yr Author Tried it, no change. I am going to start copying the files off of the drive, removing the drive, format it, and add it back in. It's going to take a day or two but I'm assuming it should work. Unless there is anything else I should try.
May 30, 201115 yr if a more experienced person can answer my question. what happens if you telnet or console in and remove (rm -r -v) the directory in question? i have done it once before and i noticed the parity drive is active with the delete. is this an "unsafe way" to delete files? @phenixdragon I would wait for an answer before you run that.
May 30, 201115 yr You could log-on to the server and check the permissions of the files on that disk. You do a ls -a to get a long listing with the permissions. I have; drwx--x--x = directory -rw------- or -rwx------ = file It may be a simple matter of just changing the permissions for whatever reason. You should probably run a parity check too. Peter
May 30, 201115 yr Post the results of "reiserfsck /dev/md6". This command will not fix anything it is just a check.
May 30, 201115 yr Author Post the results of "reiserfsck /dev/md6". This command will not fix anything it is just a check. Gtocha. I will do that after some copying finishes up. I'd hate to stop it again.

Peter I tried a parity check a few times, no difference. So how would I check the permissions for the specific drive? I am an IT guy but not much with Linux, even though I do support it at work but I pretty much follow stored procedures for issues and escalate to admins.
May 30, 201115 yr Log in and cd /mnt/disk3 to get to disk 3. ls -l will give the long listing with the permissions shown. You log-in as root with no password unless you have set one. Peter
May 30, 201115 yr The syslog shows disk6 mounted as read-only due to a reiser FS problem. Post the results of reiserfsck.

May 31, 201115 yr Author Can I run that while copying files? I have been trying to copy everything off for about 20 hours now and it's a couple of hours away from finishing.
