Running: version: 5.0-rc16c UNRAID pro.

 

I have a directory structure on one drive - which I cannot seem to rename or delete - just some folders 3 deep.

 

For example:

Video

--- DATE NIGHT

-------VIDEO_TS

 

I was able to delete other folders under Video

And I was able to delete the files in VIDEO_TS

 

I have been able to delete files in these folders.

 

Any suggestions?

 

I have run New Permissions after I recently upgraded from 4.7 - I was having problems on this drive under 4.7 as well - actually more problems - now just a half dozen folders.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Are you trying to delete from Windows, MC, CLI?

 

Telnet and cd to the folders in question, then ls -al to see the linux permissions on the files.

sorry for being such a noob - not very conversant with linux - know the very very basics like ls = dir etc.

How does one switch to disk5?

 

Also I am ok with just formating this disk - how do I do that?

figured it out how to switch cd into the drive that is.

 

 

root@xxxxxxx:/mnt/disk5/Video/DATE NIGHT# ls -al

total 0

drwxrwxrwx 3 nobody users  72 2013-08-06 22:05 ./

drwxrwxrwx 4 nobody users 112 2013-08-06 22:05 ../

drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody users 176 2013-08-06 22:05 VIDEO_TS/

root@xxxxxxx:/mnt/disk5/Video/DATE NIGHT#

 

root@xxxxxxxxx:/mnt/disk5/Video/DEVIL PRADA WS/VIDEO_TS# ls -al

total 0

drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody users 48 2013-08-07 15:51 ./

drwxrwxrwx 3 nobody users 72 2013-08-06 22:05 ../

 

also rmdir from telnet does not work - says readonly file system

 

 

You need to check you file system for issues

Read and follow directions to run reiserfsck --check then post the results here for further assistance

 

also post your syslog file  (instructions here) http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=9880.0

Hi Sorry for the delay - sometimes work / life gets in the way

 

Should I be doing these  reiserfsck checks on a regular basis on all the drives?

 

OUTPUT:

 

root@theoracle:/# reiserfsck --check /dev/md5

reiserfsck 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com)

Says:

Important Note!!! Do NOT run reiserfsck with the --rebuild-sb or --rebuild-tree switches, unless you are instructed to, by the instruction of a previous run of reiserfsck, or by an expert user! They are last-resort options, to repair a severely damaged Reiser file system, and recover as much as possible. They almost always create a lost+found directory and place in it the files, directories, and parts of files it can recover. It will then be up to you to rename them and restore those files and directories to their correct locations. Many times it will be possible to identify them by their contents, or their size.

 

Is it better to just format the drive? How does one format a drive in UNRAID?

 

Thanks in advance.

In my experience running reiserfsck with the --rebuild-tree option normally recovers the data so it is the least effort to get back to a good state. 

 

However if the data is important you want to consider taking some precautions before running the reiserfsck with --rebuild-tree such as:

- Make an image of the disk at the sector level so you can put it back to the current state if something goes wrong

- Copy off what data you can first.
