Hey guys, My cache drive started acting up tonight and all of my dockers kept crashing. The drive says that it mounted as read only and I dont know what to do. I would like to try and recover as much data from the drive as possible. Unfortunately, when I run the reiserfsck, I get the following error:

 

 reiserfsck --check /dev/sdi1
reiserfsck 3.6.27

Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/sdi1
Will put log info to 'stdout'

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

The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem. If you have
bad blocks, we advise you to get a new hard drive, because once you
get one bad block  that the disk  drive internals  cannot hide from
your sight,the chances of getting more are generally said to become
much higher  (precise statistics are unknown to us), and  this disk
drive is probably not expensive enough  for you to you to risk your
time and  data on it.  If you don't want to follow that follow that
advice then  if you have just a few bad blocks,  try writing to the
bad blocks  and see if the drive remaps  the bad blocks (that means
it takes a block  it has  in reserve  and allocates  it for use for
of that block number).  If it cannot remap the block,  use badblock
option (-B) with  reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly.

bread: Cannot read the block (2): (Input/output error).

Aborted

 

I am not sure how to proceed as I dont really understand the instructions this is giving me. I would like to be able to copy whatever is salvageable to a new drive but I am unable to do any operations on this drive due to it being read only.

 

I have attached a syslog as well. I would appreciate any help!

You should post the complete diags, but based on the syslog cache drive is failing, fsck can't fix a disk with bad sectors, you can first clone it with ddrescue then run reiserfsck, there could be some data loss depending on how bad the disk is.
