rebuild-tree hangs

[Christian Folini]

Hello,

Doing a rebuild tree on a 50GB partition hanged
with a 2GB log-file of the same line.

These are my infos:

drive:  IC35L120AVVA07-0, ATA DISK drive
 (It's an IBM 120GB Diskstar (?))
kernel: vanilla 2.4.20
distribution: debian testing/unstable

reiserfsprogs: debian 3.6.4-4

reiserfs log-file:

filesystem corruption howto ???

[ndiowona]

Hi,
I'm running RH linux  2.2.20 with reiserfs.I have some trouble with the wn
web server.
The system reports me the following message:

wnsd: can't create temp directory /tmp/wn_tmp99.
When I " cd /tmp",running "ls -ltr" reports me the following:
ls: wn_temp99: Input/Output error
ls: ftpcopy2.log: Input/Output error
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 246 apr 10:02 ftpcopy1.log

Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?
I think it can be a filesystem corruption.tmp is not a partition but just a
directory under "/" partition

Many thanks for your help

Vincent

This probably means bad blocks on the partition. Do you see anything 
related in the syslog?

This appears when you compile the progs on one computer not statically
and run it on another computer with other libs. Could you tell me what version
of reiserfsprogs you use and what glibc version you had on the mashine you
compiled reiserfsprog on and glibc version you have on the mashine you run 
reiserfsck on?

Hi,

Just my 0.02 euro but why not build reiserfsck statically out of the box ?

This would avoid such problems and also when someone uses a floppy to repair
a root filesystem ( stripped 3.6.5 reiserfsck static binary is about 643 Ko )

Thanks,

Philippe

This is probably pretty big for a floppy, stripped not-static binary is 3 times smaller.
Actually, there was only this problem with different libc versions and I hope that I will 
be able to reproduce it and to resolve it soon.

Yes, you're right. My point was just to say that it was still small enough to fit on a floppy.

It just happened that it helped me many times when i had to boot from an old rescue CD
which didn't have the latest fsck, to rebuild the root filesystem.

Yes, a problem that at least several people hit and i thought it would be a goo way to solve this.

Personally, i always build reiserfsck statically for the reasons i mentioned above but i'm sure
there are other environments that would require the smallest tools.

Thanks,

Philippe

Most people boot from CDROMS now, so Philippe's suggestion seems like a 
good one to me.

We agreed with Vitaly that he will implement "--build-fsck-statucally" kind of configure 
switch for those who want static fack. Aternatively we can change it to build always
static fsck, unless "--build-fsck-dynamically" kind of configure switch is supplied.
