 |

Howday,
Been using Gentoo since july or august of 2002, and recently i've made the switch on my home server from w2k to Gentoo. I've managed to install 1.4rc4 on it - install went wonderfully.
My server is a P4 2.2, 512rdram, nvidia gf2mx, abit th7ii-raid motherboard. The raid controller on this board is a high point 370. I've got support for this device compiled into my kernel, and it detects the drives fine (had a simply _marvelous_ time moving all my data from ntfs to ext3, btw).
Problem is - every time i reboot, i am unable to mount the drives (have not added them to fstab - still shuffling data and drives around). I'm not simply hitting the power switch when i reboot - i do 'shutdown -r 0'. When i first attempt to mount (ext3 partition only - ntfs is supported as read-only... only):
| Code: | | mount /dev/hdx /root/drivex |
| Quote: | | mount: you must specify the filesystem type |
then:
| Code: | | mount /dev/hdx /root/drivex -t ext3 |
| Quote: | | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdx, or too many mounted filesystems |
i must then run e2fsck:
| Quote: | e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
/dev/hdx was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Free blocks count wrong for group #0 (24039, counted=0)
Fix<y>? |
I must then press 'y' and hold it down as the freeblocks count message is repeated several hundred times.
This happens every time i reboot. Any suggestions?

I don't know how to fix it, but in the meantime you might be interested in the -y switch to fsck which tells it to answer yes to all questions  |

Hmm, when you first created the file system did you change the max mount times before a fsck?
Anyway, I'd have a look at the ext2/3 tools if I were you.
Run a dumpe2fs on your partitions and find out what exactlty the settings for your harddisks are.
Then I'd change them by using tune2fs, have a look at it's manpage. (I'd be using -c and -i)
Let us know if this fixes it, and if it does change your post to [FIXED!] somethign or other... |

I had the same problem: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=42424
I answered "yes" to every question and after that a _lot_ of libraries were missing. They were in lost+found, but it was impossible to recover them (300Mb, weird names). I think you should answer yes to every question and see what happens.
Edit: See Slougi's tip if you have to reinstall your system.
Edit2: Try to boot from gentoo cd and then run e2fsck a couple(!) of times. |
