January 19, 201412 yr Hey Guys, I did a parity check which stopped by itself, after which the server wasn't reachable anymore. At the console I saw some errors on md8. I ran reiserfsck --check /dev/md8 . You can see the result on the picture. I wonder where I can find the log info (which is supposed to be put out to 'stdout' somewhere?). What should I do or type next to fix the problem? Just type --rebuild-tree ??
January 20, 201412 yr Author The server is still busy. What do I do with Parity after its finished? I guess it has to be build with the new, correct data on my disk 8? Run Parity check and correct the errors?
January 20, 201412 yr Author Now its finished. I rebooted the server. When starting the array, disk8 shows up as unformatted. On the console I see "REISERFS error (device md8)" and a lot of other things, see picture. What should I do next? Replace the disk?
January 20, 201412 yr No. Replacing the disk will not fix the file system. Run reiserfsck with the rebuild-tree option as indicated in the first screenshot.
January 20, 201412 yr Author Ok dgaschk, just to be clear: I did that already, the server was busy with it for more than 12 hours. Do you mean I should do it again?
January 21, 201412 yr Ok dgaschk, just to be clear: I did that already, the server was busy with it for more than 12 hours. Do you mean I should do it again? Run it again. The photo of the error screen shows an error. See here for help with Reiserfsck: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Check_Disk_Filesystems
January 21, 201412 yr Run reiserfsck --check again. Can you telnet to the server? Running the commands in telnet will allow you to cut and paste the output.
January 21, 201412 yr Author Thanx DaleWilliams & dgaschk. When starting the process again I noticed something I forgot the last time I started it: I ran the process when the array was started, and was not in maintenance mode. Maybe that's why it wasn't successful? Now the process is running again on the console, and will be running the rest of the day. (I have never telnetted into the server, I have to try that sometime since that is new for me.)
January 21, 201412 yr When starting the process again I noticed something I forgot the last time I started it: I ran the process when the array was started, and was not in maintenance mode. Maybe that's why it wasn't successful? That would definitely make it fail. You cannot run reiserfsck on a mounted file system.
January 22, 201412 yr Author The process finished this morning after 33 hours. You can see the result in the picture. Does it look good? I rebooted my server and started the array, after which parity build started by itself. After this, I will start a parity check and see what happens..
January 22, 201412 yr I'm pretty cautious with stuff like this. After the parity check finishes, I'd run Reiserfsck again...just in case not all file system problems are finished. I know it takes a long time, but unless the file system is correct, future 'write' operations will make it worse.
February 17, 201412 yr Author Ok guys, After a few weeks of vacation I continued my work on my server. Before I went away on holiday I ran Reiserfsck again. Everything fine now. The server made a lost+found share, everything good so far, I thought. I can copy data to my share "Media" (in a folder "Movies'', or ''TVseries"). With my PC I can even copy it back to any location, so it seems to work, EXCEPT for my Dune media player : When I go to a folder in the share "Media" (on my Dune media player), and then to ''Movies" and then (for example)''Dallas Buyer Club", there is nothing in the folder. When I go to the same folder with my PC, I can see the files in there. I already ran the "New Permissions" utility.. Any ideas?
February 17, 201412 yr Show the output of "ls -la" on the share directory, e.g. {ls -la /mnt/user/Movies/"Dallas Buyer Club"}.
February 18, 201412 yr Author @dgaschk: Thank you very much for your tip. I feel really stupid, but I haven't got a clue how to "Show the output of "ls -la" on the share directory". I'm not familiar with Linux..
February 18, 201412 yr @dgaschk: Thank you very much for your tip. I feel really stupid, but I haven't got a clue how to "Show the output of "ls -la" on the share directory". I'm not familiar with Linux.. If you use putty you can capture the results of the "ls -la" command he is asking you for. Then just paste that capture into a post here.
February 18, 201412 yr Author Ok thanx BobPhoenix, I will search for how to use putty and report back.
February 18, 201412 yr Set Putty to Telnet and enter name or IP address of the server. Save the Putty config.
