Ok, I'm new to this, so forgive. You might try putting the drive in the freezer for about 30 minutes or so. It sounds crazy, but I read that this has allowed some folks around 10 minutes of up time on a failing disk. This assumes, of course, that the disk itself is the problem. -----Original Message----- From: Stan Brown [mailto:stanb@panix.com] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 9:34 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 2bd request, help with older softupdates filesystem I posted this yesterday, but go no replies. Sorry for the repost, but I really neeed some advice here. I have a machien that has been runing for a long time with a large quantity of data on it (It's a webserver). It's running 3.4 STABLE (yes I know I should have updateetd). It crashed, and on the way up when it tried to run fsck on the /var partition (IDE drive) it failed. I went inot single user and tries to run: fsck -y /dev//wd0s1e I got a buch of correctinos, nut it finally stoped with. fsck: Cannot find inode 252 What can I do to get this system up long enough to get the data off of it? Is it likely this is a genuine disk problem, or is it possible this is a softupdates problem? This partiton BTW is /var, so I'm hoping the /usr partiton, where the data is is recoverable! -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
