July 10, 201411 yr Hello all, Hope all finds you well! My lovely son managed to hit the delete button on a folder on the server. Unfortunately for him the majority of the data was his animation movies folder - disk 8. I followed this thread: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=619.0 using the "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree --scan-whole-partition /dev/md8" It started the process without a problem. Now I forgot to disable the sleep script; therefore this morning the server was sleeping. Hoping the server did not go to sleep before finishing the reiserfsck command. When I woke up the server - it set to automatically start the array. Drive 8 shows up as "Unformatted" I have tried rebooting and restarting the array but it still shows "Unformatted". Wondering what my next steps should be? Please find attached syslogs. I have attached several to make sure all details are captured. I do have previous ones as well, but was unable to upload (due to size) on this post, however they can be found at the below links: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13091791/syslog-20140709-093545.txt https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13091791/syslog-20140709-093554.txt https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13091791/syslog-20140710-020438.txt https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13091791/syslog-20140710-020448.txt https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13091791/syslog-20140710-040514.txt https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13091791/syslog-20140710-041720.txt Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. Cheers, Wayne Syslog_20140710.zip
July 10, 201411 yr The fact the disk shows as unformatted means that it almost certainly did not complete the reiserfsck. I would make sure sleep is disabled, put the array into maintenance mode and rerun the reiserfsck command.
July 21, 201411 yr Author Thanks itimpi, Worked great. Now have to sort through the hundreds of numerical named folders it created to find out if it recovered anything of value. Thanks again.
January 3, 201511 yr Thank you for this information. It helped me greatly repair the same problems I was having with my unraid server. I was not able to copy to one of my shares but could copy at disk level which I then tried each and every drive with that share folder and found only 1 drive without permissions. I had already tried the new permissions part in utilities of unraid with the help of another post here but it had not fix the problem with this drive. Following these instructions and the final instructions from the telnet I was able to repair my unraid server and clear up some problems on the drive. It did take 2 times doing it as I guess like above it didn't finish right the first time and left the drive (unformatted) in the array. For the life of me I can not access the lost + found folder. Should I maybe run the permissions program again? I don't know that much is really in there as my folders seem to be the the same size they where before running reiserfsck... Thank you for this thread and the others for help. I very much appreciated the help.
