Q: e2fsck, filesystem problem (raid)
| Posted by hbhb, 03-03-2010, 11:15 PM |
| Hi,
I have a raid1 server which has 3 hdd
/dev/sda
/dev/sdb
these 2 hard drive is configured as raid1 (using intel onboard h/w raid)
/dev/md1
/dev/sdc is my backup drive
Now the server faces file system problem.
On a normal server , i usually do e2fsck -y /dev/sda2
So how do I fix it on Raid?
I tried to run e2fsck -y /dev/md1 and reboot, it doesn't work
I tried e2fsck -y /dev/sda it says device is busy, mounted by another program.

| The short answer is that you've already tried the right thing, which is e2fsck -y /dev/md1
Can you paste the output of that command, and the error on boot?

| there isn't any error. it says node check check & fixed.
so i run init 6 and it still gives me same issue.
so i tried to login as root and remount -t ext2 -o /dev/md1 /
then i rename/etc/fstab as /etc/fstab_backup
so i run init 6 again to reboot and yes it went well
but actually not, because i couldn't ssh into my server until now
user@xxx.xx.xx.xx's password:
stdin: is not a tty

| You need to use a KVM to do this from single user mode before everything else starts up

| We need to check if the raid is getting initialized using the raid controller. You can do it from the console.
For formatting you can use the command below.

| It sounds to me like the filesystem has been corrupted in a way that fsck could not automatically fix. Do you have a bunch of stuff under /lost+found ?
