Subject: Reiserfs has killed my root FS!?!
Date: Sun, 12 May 2002 17:29:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3CDEDEA5.2020002@earthlink.net> (raw)
Firstly, I haven't subscribed to this list since 2.3 so please also copy
me on repsonses.
Secondly, I am e-mailing from my Mother's place as it IS Mother's Day
AND my home PC will no longer boot Linux (my primary OS), so please send
responses to johnnyo@mindspring.com
TIA :-)
Now the problem.
I use reiserfs on all my filesystems. I have noticed some minor
corruption of files in the past when I didnt shut down Linux properly
(lockups, etc). I experiment alot with my computer.
Anyway lately I was havin a problem that required frequent reboots. Now
I believe my root filesystem is corrupted?!? Linux 2.4.18 boots till it
gets to
reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 08:12)
attempt to access beyond end of device
08:12: rw=0 want=268574776 limit=8747392
vs-13070: reiserfs_read_inode2: i/o failure occurred trying to find stat
data of [1 2 0x0 SD]
Using r5 hash to sort names
Reiserfs version 3.6.25
VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly.
Warning: unable to mount devfs, err: -5
Freeing unused kernel memory: 224k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found.
If someone can get me to the point where I can just get to read my
filesystem read-only, so I get get all my data off of it, I would be
EXTREMELY GRATEFUL! I have some very important data on that FS. I went
to the reiserfs web site to discover I'd get charged $25 for asking for
help, so unless someone convinces me otherwise, I will be converting to
EXT3 when this disaster is over...
Slackware Linux 8.1b2
Linux 2.4.18
ReiserFS 3.6.25
GLIBC 2.2.5
GCC 2.95.3
Any help please?!?
