 Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 3:15 pm Post subject: Fixing reiserfs partition on remote machine |
 |
|
I have old box that I use for a file server, I do not have have anything hooked up to it besides power and a network connection so I use ssh for all my admin work on the server. Recently it experienced some unexpected crashes (some due to power outages) I was wondering if there would be a way for me to run reiserfsck on the root partition without having to break out the live cd, keyboard, and monitor. I tried but the drive corruption remains.
Any suggestions? Or do I just have to bit the bullet and go get a monitor and keyboard.

| Can you post the /etc/fstab of the remote box? |

here it is:
| Code: |
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom audo noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0

Your fstab has the fsck switch on which is ok, but you probably need to run fsck with the force option to run it on a partition that is marked clean. But to fsck with force, the partition must be unmounted, but you can't ssh into it if / is unmounted right?
And I think that the installation CD doesn't include reiserfsck - not sure.
Try running init 1 ( as root ). Once in single user mode, you should be able to remount the filesystem as read only, fsck it, then reboot.
