Corrupt filesystem

Hi,
I recently made a fresh install on my laptop computer using ext4 as root filesystem. Today I ran an upgrade via 'pacman -Syu'. It installed KDE 4.4.5 among a few other things.
Afterwards, I wanted to suspend the machine to RAM - but for some reason it crashed.
Now the machine won't boot properly, because some files in /etc as well as a lot of .so files are empty. They all belong to packages that were upgraded prior to the crash (I think). The files exist but they contain no data.
Of course, fsck ran after automatically after reboot, told me it was "recovering journal" and that the "filesystem is clean". The filesystem in fact seems to be intact, but the files' contents are missing.
Luckily, pacman is still working, so I should be fine if I simply reinstall all installed packages. Is there a handy command that accomplishes this?
Can I configure ext4 to be more robust to crashes, to prevent such massive data loss in the future?

i know this is an older post, but i wanted to comment on
alloc_on_commit
i was doing some research after i just suffered data loss from UNC errors, possible bad sectors on the hard drive is the reason.  i suffererd some data loss, and i suspect thats its primarily because of the way the ext4 filesystem was handing the errors.  when the errors showed up, i rebooted, and ran 'fsck', once that came back fixed, i rebooted again.  once i run a program that was accessing from corrupted areas in a terminal, the UNC hard drive errors would start popping up again.  Its as if the journaling went bad somewhere.  I havent had this problem with ext3, i feel like im back in the windows98 data loss days again, and its as if ext4 didnt like what was going on. Im thinking that im starting to see a trend of ext4 data loss problems.
Im searching for the most reliable file system i can find now. After your last comment NV, i think i will stick with ext3 because i was reading this article and the same thing was mentioned http://www.h-online.com/open/Ext4-data- … ews/112892, or was that you? :-) 
anyhow, im installing, and ready to hit the 'write' button on cfdisk, so i made up my mind, im going back to ext3.

  • Xscreensaver corrupts ext3/ext4 filesystems

    Hi!
    The problem is that running any GL screensavers will result in a corrupted filesystem. First I suspected that my laptop HD has bad sectors or the temperature is too high but after reinstalling everything and monitoring this values with smartctl and lm_sensors everything looks good. After a few day installed the xscreensaver package launched it and I got again the corrupted filesystem. I am using the xf86-video-ati 6.12.4-3 driver.  I have an IBM Thinkpad T42 with Radeon 7500 chipset with only 32MB memory BUT the xf86 driver thinks that I have 128MB memory and is trying to write to it. lspci also shows 128MB but I know that is only 32MB. This is causing that the xf86 server will overwrite the memory that causing the corrupted file system. Tried also the latest Ubuntu. There the problem is even worste: random freezes.
    Searching on google I found that other people are having this problem with ATI xf86 drivers.
    Is the kernel the culprit or the xf86 drivers? Where should I write a bug report? Does anybody knows some configuration settings that will fix this issue? Old distributions are working fine only the new kernel and xf86 causing this problem.
    For me is still quite unbelivable that a graphical application can mess my whole Linux distro. The good part is that first time was a few day to install and configure Arch, second time was only a day and the third time is only a few hours :-) But anyway I don't want to reinstall anymore I want finally to use it. I hope that there is a solution...

    Yes, and also the same at freedesktop.org: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24414
    For now until this will be fixed I am using xset to blank the screen and I try to avoid any 3D application.

  • Filesystem Corruption?

    Hi, Folks,
    While this is indeed conjecture, it appears that the 2.0 series of firmware has a filesystem corruption problem as the amount of content on the device increases - in particular, once many applications have been installed. The behavior that I've witnessed in this circumstance is somewhat progressive. Initially, application install or updates begin to slow down dramatically. User behavior starts to contribute to the problem: when an update might takes more than five minute, folks may try aborting the update or sync, which often leads to a corrupted filesystem. This is easy to identify; powering down then back up again will lead to an "Apple logo" hang. Only a DFU restore will recover from this failure.
    Much more significant is that even in the absence of inappropriate user behavior, the filesystem issue continues to worsen over time. For techies, the symptoms appear quite similar to serious fragmentation (or analogously for in-memory issues, garbage collection). I'm beginning to think that the core Flash filesystem code has a bug which starts to yield incorrect FS handling once many files are present. A key symptom is that attempts to restore from a backup will often report that the backup file is corrupted. My best guess is that the backup itself was probably performed properly, but the reported corruption actually may have been caused by the iPhone's filesystem itself becoming corrupted prior to the backup.
    After having run into this issue often enough that I've needed to perform ~10 DFU restores on three iPhones (one original 8GB, and two 3G 16GB devices), this indeed appears to be a serious problem. Though my guess is that the iPhone's filesystem code is the root cause, I'm interested in hearing feedback from other folks who may have encountered this issue. Are the problems which you've seen consistent with this hypothesis?
    Cheers!
    Mark

    Hello!
    I'll add one more interesting data point. I've since found that I have had two different backup files that take well over an hour to restore onto a newly DFU-restored phone. On both of these files, the backup would proceed fairly quickly to a specific point (~50% on one file, and about 75% on the other file), and then would stop (the progress bar kept spinning, but with no forward progress) for about 1 hour, and then would continue and ultimately succeed. It's intriguing that repeating this process with each of these files yielded exactly the same "pause point".
    While the thought of a timeout occurring is still quite appropriate, this further suggests that if the core filesystem code is at fault, the error might be induced by a NAND/iNAND error condition (NAND Flash always has errors, by design; Flash filesystems are supposed to handle those errors gracefully). This deterministic very-long-delay condition suggests that (normal) Flash errors just might be confusing the filesystem driver.
    FYI!

    A change to the zpool_import() management of the zpool.cache file, as delivered by Solaris 10 kernel patches 137137-09 (for SPARC) or 137138-09 (for x86), might cause systems that have their shared ZFS (zfs(1M)) storage pools under the control of HAStoragePlus to be simultaneously imported on multiple cluster nodes. Importing a ZFS storage pool on multiple cluster nodes will result in pool corruption, which might cause data integrity issues or cause a cluster node to panic.
    To avoid this problem, install Solaris 10 patch 139579-02 (for SPARC) or 139580-02 (for x86) immediately after you install 137137-09 or 137138-09 but before you reboot the cluster nodes.
    Alternatively, only on the Solaris 10 5/08 OS, remove the affected patch before any ZFS pools are simultaneously imported to multiple cluster nodes. You cannot remove patch 137137-09 or 137138-09 from the Solaris 10 10/08 OS, because these patches are preinstalled on that release.

  • Windows traditionally unstable since win95, filesystem since XP

    I have to reinstall windows every 1-2 years because of its instabilities, and it's been this way since win95. data drives are just fine, only the system drive has its filesystem corrupted. I do chkdsk /f on a regular basis.
    I can't leave my PC on for more than a week before windows (fill in the blank, I currently use XP and 7) gets so unstable that I have to restart. this also includes putting the computer to sleep every day - I would also consider this leaving the PC "on".
    I hear friends and MVP's who only use Sleep seemingly forever and never shut down, but I have never had this kind of nice thing. not sure why.
    after 1-2 years, programs run funny looking like they are buggy, due to filesystem corruption on the system drive
    please fix this instability. some posts have commented that any desktop OS is the reason (the commenter was on a linux forum, but included windows too). I might agree, but I have no basis to understand why others have success while I do not. so I don't understand
    the dynamics. some have told me it's the drivers. hmm. with linux, drivers come from linux folk.
    bugs are bugs. looks like a program bug to me. especially when the filesystem gets corrupted for no good reason.
    please fix. please please fix.

    I can understand your frustration, but bear this in mind: the vast majority of people do not have a problem with their filesystem. In fact, the most common cause of a corrupt filesystem is a failing or faulty hard drive. Even you admit that "others
    have success while <you> do not". Perhaps you should consider upgrading your drive.
    Outside of this your post is hopelessly short on details that might solicit help. On the other hand, perhaps all you wanted to do was vent.

  • Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.

  • My iPod doesn't sync all my music! HELP! :(

    Hello there! I happen to be having a couple of troubles with my iPod classic lately. The last one and the most miserable one is that last night when I added three new albums on my iTunes Library and then synced my iPod to copy them on it, I noticed that all my music has been reduced from 54gb to 19 gb!! I was and still am in schock because I dunno what happened! I've done like I usually do and got no error during the syncing process. I still have 54gb of music on my pc and iTunes even now, but my iPod won't sync for more than 2 minutes so it can't copy all the music on it.
    I gotta mention that my iTunes is up to date, I've got a new perfectly working computer and my iPod is also pretty new (bought it earlier this year).
    PLEASE HELP ME FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS!!
    P.S I'm going on a long enough road trip next week so my iPod breaking down right now is a complete nightmare
    THANKS!

    My Suggestions, when syncing an iPod Classic on a Windows machine.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Disconnect all other USB Devices
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC. (if you are using a Desktop PC)
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem. (if you have more than a few GB of Others)
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your iPod.
    Good Luck!

  • Ipod 160g does not appear on itunes but it appears on windows when in disk mode

    my ipod 160 g does not appear in itune (disk mode or not) but it appears in windows as IPOD (F:) only when it's in disk mode. I tried reseting it by holding the menu and center button it stop but then it goes back to the apple logo screen and stay on untill the battery dies and nothing else happens how can I reset it to is factory settings?

    When you connect it in Disk Mode, leave it charging the iPod Battery till Full Charge.
    In the meantime, 30 minutes or so into the charging, ( I just want the Ipod to have sufficient power for any harddisk Operation)
    go to Window Explorer (or My Computer),
    Select the Ipod, right click properties, ->tools->error checking->Check Now->fix error
    After the error fixing (may take a while but then you still have to wait till the battery charging is complete.)
    Disconnect the iPod from the PC.

  • IPod not syncing / scrambled by iTunes

    For the second time this month, iTunes 10 has decided to freeze/crash while working on my iPod. The first time I was left with an iPod that seemed to still have everything on there, but it was all unaccessible. It claimed there were 0 files on there, but the memory was almost full so clearly the files were still there.
    I had to format it and start over. Wasn't very happy considering it was a 160gb iPod that was about 158gb full, and much of the last month has been spent trying to get it back up to where it was before. The stuff that I hadn't completely lost forever, anyway...
    Now, yesterday, iTunes has pulled the same trick again, but the results have been slightly different. The iPod is basically okay - all the video/audio/photo files are still on there (minus the cover art, apparently) and are all still accessible, but it won't sync properly anymore so I can't add anything else. And whenever I plug it into the computer it just sits there with the 'connecting' arrows spiralling round and round. iTunes just freezes. Windows goes from detecting my iPod (name and all), to just detecting a 'portable audio player' that doesn't have a disk, and it won't let me format it in either normal or disk mode.
    What I want to do is just wipe the iPod and start over again, since this time I've kept a backup of all my ripped music and audiobooks so I should just be able to reload everything in a fraction of the time. I've removed iTunes 10 now since it's done this to me twice and I'm back on 9 but I can't get to the 'restore to factory settings' button because iTunes just doesn't want to know. Any ideas?

  • Mac Pro Won't Boot from any HDD

    My system:
    2008 8-core Mac Pro running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
    4 HDDs installed, 2 of them are a striped RAID 0 that is the bootup volume, a couble of external hard drives (1 of them a bootable clone), a DVI display
    backed up with Time Machine; thanks for the concern.
    Problem:
    I came home one day, and my computer was acting funny. It was fine earlier in the day. Time Machine had failed a backup, an AFP mount had unmounted with an error, Dropbox was trying to sync but couldn't because of bad access permissions for a file, and Terminal wouldn't open, giving me a message about an invalid shell. I restarted, and it failed to restart, so I turned it off. I thought it was a corrupt filesystem (and striping is unstable, so it would make sense), but no, no other bootable disks worked.
    Boot chime plays, grey screen comes up with Apple logo, wheel spins forever.
    ATI graphics card fan runs pretty fast after a minute or so.
    Light is solid, not blinking to indicate a RAM problem.
    What I've tried:
    Googled the problem. Got results about MacBook Pros. Did "-MacBook" in the search. Got similar questions but no solutions for my Mac.
    Tried booting from an install DVD and the clone. Same thing happened.
    Reset the PRAM (twice). No effect.
    Reset the SMC (twice). No effect.
    Unplugged the monitor. Graphics card fan wasn't loud, but the computer still wouldn't boot.
    Unplugged all USB and FireWire devices. No effect.
    Left the computer unplugged for an hour, which also resets the SMC. Who knows, this sometimes works! It didn't.
    Any ideas?

    Booting in Safe Mode did not help, but it did show a grey circle with a cross through it instead of an Apple logo like before.
    I remembered that there's an Apple Hardware Test (a bit hard to figure out how to do on your specific machine ), and I booted into it. Before I even ran the test, it told me that there is an error. The error message was just the name of one of my RAM slots. So... a piece of RAM might be dead. I ran the extended test, and it was halfway through after 30 minutes, but I stopped it because I don't have enough time. I have to continue this tomorrow.
    As for the GPU, its fans might just be running because the system runs them at a high level by default when it's in certain states. I know older Macs did this in Target Disk Mode with every fan, and the GPU fan was running during the AHT too. At least I hope this is the case. Right now, it seems beyond a hard drive problem. Maybe booting from a DVD works because it only uses 1 RAM slot or something. I'd much rather have a piece of inexpensive RAM be dead than my GPU, and besides, I've kinda wanted to upgrade the RAM anyway.

  • IPod Sync Problem - syncs songs, but then no songs on ipod - space taken by other

    I recently got a new computer with Windows 7.  I installed itunes (64 bit for windows 7) and imported my songs from my external hard drive.  I automatically synced my ipod classic and once it completed got the instructions that it was ok to disconnect.  When I did, my ipod shows no music, but the space taken in memory is the same as the amount of music I have (around 8,000 songs).  When I reconnect, I get a message that I need to restore my ipod since the files cannot be read and they show up as other on the bottom of itunes.  I've tried multiple times - restored ipod, uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, deleted ipod driver, reinstalled driver, cleared the ipod in disk mode, but no luck.  Please help me solve this problem!  It's driving me crazy having a new computer with itunes that does not work!

  • I want to use a nas drive for my time machine back ups.

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to macs. I've set up time machine on my kids macs using a time capsule without problems.
    Ive now bought my own mac and want to use time machine to back it up but only have a network hard drive to do it on. When I go to choose disk, I'm not given the option of the drive. I can see it in finder ok.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks
    Roy

    There's more to it than a "party line." Many folks who have started this, and thought it was going well, found it wasn't as reliable as they thought.
    From a post in another forum (found by V.K.):
    *The technical reason why Apple limits Time Machine to 10.5 AFP volumes appears to be to prevent disk image corruption. There were additional features added to AFP in 10.5 to support Time Machine. These presumably allow the disk image engine to force disk image journal data to write out all the way to the disk. Without such features, a network interruption can result in a corrupted filesystem on the disk image despite journaling. Remember, journaling relies on the journal being written all the way to disk before the changes take place. If you can't guarantee that (e.g., because of network/NAS buffering) then the journal is useless. Time Machine appears to rely heavily on disk journaling to deal with network drop-outs, interrupted backups, and the like. Take this away and your data is at risk.*
    *If the NAS you are using supports these features it should report them to the OS and you should natively be able to choose that volume. If you have to trick the OS to use the volume it means the NAS does not support it.*
    *To summarize: if you care about your backup data you should avoid using non-natively supported AFP servers.*
    That only addresses Leopard, of course. Snow Leopard seems to have some additional requirements, that don't work with some NAS solutions that did work, to a degree, with Leopard.

  • TimeMachine network backup crashing my computer

    I have a USB drive attached to my router and available via samba. I've followed the instructions available from multiple sources online on how to set this drive up as a TM backup, and it works fine. However, every so often, I will notice that fsck_hfs is running, eating up 20% or more CPU, with kernel_task taking another 10-15%. When I disable TM or turn off airport, this problem ceases. If I leave fsck_hfs go long enough, my system locks up and I need to hard reboot.
    Two questions: a) is this a known bug, and if so is there a workaround? b) can I tell my system not to run fsck_hfs on remote drives? I consider (b) a viable option and I really don't care about the consequences - I would much rather rebuild my TM sparsebundle every month then have my computer crash every day.

    jdidion wrote:
    BTW, are you saying that if I instead attach this drive to my linux server and attach TM via AFP that Apple will support this in the event that the fsck_hfs problem still occurs?
    If it meets this criteria: +*If your backup disk is on a network, the network server must use Apple File Protocol (AFP) file sharing, and both your computer, and the networked backup disk, should have Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later.+*
    It's way beyond my level of expertise, but this post in another forum may contain the key:
    The technical reason why Apple limits Time Machine to 10.5 AFP volumes appears to be to prevent disk image corruption. There were additional features added to AFP in 10.5 to support Time Machine.

  • MacBook in target disk mode shows incorrect disk size

    My 80 GB hard drive in MacBook has gone bad (the filesystem is in inconsistent state). I connected it to an iMac in Target Disk Mode. It shows up (unmounted) but the capacity reported by Disk Utility is 20 GB. Does someone know why is that? Is it due to the corrupt filesystem?
    I am afraid that given this situation, if I buy and run DiskWarrior, that too might not be able to see the full disk and fail to repair it. Note that if I boot my MacBook using the Apple CD, the Disk Utility shows the correct disk size.
    Thanks.

    If you have a disk that is in really, really bad shape to the point that Disk Utility looks at you like a 5 year old that just spilled a glass of apple juice on the kitchen floor, it's time to bring in the big guns.
    DiskWarrior.
    I love it, I love it. If someone has something bad to say about it, they are lying. If there is a chance that you can get everything back to normal without spending the huge dough to send your drive out to be dismantled in a clean room, DiskWarrior is that chance.
    It's worth every single penny.
    Let me know if you have other queries.

  • Can't set ringtone on 6110 Navigator

    I have a problem with my new (1 month old) 6110 Navigator. If I go to the Profiles customization and click on "Ringing tone" or "Video call tone", etc., it shows an "Opening" dialog with a progress bar... and stays there indefinitely.
    I can't do anything at this point except to use the end call key to quit the application or menu key to switch tasks.
    This actually also happens if I try to use the Gallery for pictures.
    I can set a voice call ring tone via the music player's menu option, but this does not let me set my message tone or browse pictures.
    The Music Library in the music player seems to work, but only includes mp3s and m4as.
    Occasionally when I try to do this (more often recently), it also displays a box during the "Opening" dialog: Application closed: MGX DB work thread0 USER 11
    then: Application closed: ContentListingFrame workServer MGXDatabase 3
    A google of these errors pulls up a single chinese website.
    My phone is fairly stock, only installed a handful of things like the Nokia Sports Tracker, some games and other java apps.
    The phone is actually a Taiwanese model (includes traditional chinese input/display) - firmware is updated to 3.58, though I think the problem existed before I updated but am not sure.
    Has anyone seen anything like this on an S60v3 phone?

    I did some more experimenting and it looks like my card had some corrupt filesystem entries. I was still using the 512M card that came with the phone. After doing a disk check on windows and repairing some problems on it, it was working better, but still sometimes had problems. I ended up just formatting the card and reinstalling the stuff I had. This solved the problem completely, though I lost the data files for a dictionary program that came preinstalled (Chinese-English) and it doesn't seem to be on the installation disc.
