/mnt/cache becoming readonly

Featured Replies

Over the last week or so I've noticed that my crashplan has stopped working. I have it installed at: /mnt/cache/.permanent/crashplan

 

The message I get is that the file system is read_only.  I telnet in and sure enought I cannot create any files on /mnt/cache.  I know that it works for a bit after I restart the array, because I copied a movie over to the cache drive yesterday.  But at some point to becomes read-only.

 

Any ideas on where I can go look?

 

thanks,

david

It sounds as if there might be some file system corruption that is causing the disk to be set read-only.  To check for this you can run the command reiserfsck --check against the cache drive.

How do I find out which device is /mnt/cache?

How do I find out which device is /mnt/cache?

The unRAID web GUI tells you the device currently associated with the cache drive

Yes there is something wrong:

 

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

So I need to run --rebuild-tree?

I ran:

 

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/sdg1

 

It ran for a few hours then ended like this:

block 37680309: The free space (0) is incorrect, should be (4048) - corrected

The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem (perhaps

memory). Send us the bug report only if the second run dies at

the same place with the same block number.

that doesn't look good,

OK I ran it again, like it said and it completed successfully.  However, my /mnt/cache is still read_only, even after a reboot.

 

How do I get it to be mounted read/write like it used to be?

 

thanks

dave

 

Is there anything on it?

 

If not, I'd take the coward's way out (or is it just expeditious brute force?)

...anyway...you could copy the valid bits from cache to your PC/MAC and reformat the cache drive. reassign it to the array.

I just ordered a new drive and will swap it out.  Looks like this drive is failing anyway.

 

thanks for all the help,

david

Stating the obvious:

When you 'swap out' the cache drive, its not parity protected and won't be rebuilt.

If you have Apps or other non-Movered data on your existing cache drive, be sure to copy them off.
