Message-ID: <20010913081123.J10290-100000@mail1.hub.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Just had one of our systems that is using vinum to create a lsrge file system crash ... bringing the system back up, the vinum drive is so badly corrupted that doing an 'fsck' on the device keeps going until such a point that the lost+found directory has no space left ... doing a 'mount -f' to get a look at whether its worth working at shows 1 block used out of >8gig, so everything on it is/was lost ... so I figured I'd do an newfs on the file system, which results in: demeter# newfs -v /dev/vinum/ftpmirror Warning: 1020 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated /dev/vinum/ftpmirror: 176167940 sectors in 43010 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors 86019.5MB in 2689 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 7936 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: write error: 176167940 newfs: wtfs - writecombine: Undefined error: 0 I ended up having to do a 'vinum resetconfig' and 'vinum create' to get the newfs to work ... The OS is from August 13th: 4.4-PRERELEASE #5: Mon Aug 13 15:09:31 ADT 2001 Does anyone know of any problems, from around that data, that would explain such a magnitude of corruption? Its the worst I've seen to date, on any version of Unix I've used :( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
