Guys,

 

I have had my server running for two years, but all of a sudden i am getting read-only file system errors.

 

I have ran reiserfsck on all the drives and apparently the SB is damaged on all.

 

I am wary of doing anything as i did it on one disk and lost all of my data. (yes i followed the unpaid guide)

 

please could someone advise.

 

Thanks

 

Ben

What was the command you used to run reiserfsck on say disk1?

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/sdd/

 

As per the instructions.

 

Thanks

The instructions usually state to run it against /dev/md1    but I'd wait for Johnnie to pipe back in before doing anything else as he is one of the resident experts

Those are not the instructions, you have to use the md device, e.g., for disk1:

 

reiserfsck --check /dev/md1

If the disks are unassigned or you don't care about maintaining parity you can use the sd* identifier but you have to specify the partition, e.g.:

 

reiserfsck --check /dev/sdd1

Im such an idiot... i can't read!

 

Thanks guys...

 

Why would all SB's corrupt though? is this going to be an on going issue?

It's normal to get the superblock error if running reiserfsck using the sd* identifier without the partition, like you did.

 

Also don't forget to always start with reiserfsck --check, only use the other options if told by reiserfsck.
