I find the problem. I just add a folder named userfiles and its subfolders (according to website of fckeditor) to the application directory.

  • Filesystem check failed, but filesystems are clean

    Im running custom kernel and this might be related to it, but Im on my wits' end here and looking for pointers.
    The problem is, Im getting filesystem check failed every time I boot my system. And it gives no apparent reason
    for it to happen. I have fsck'd my partitions many times and they are clean. My hwclock is in time and rc.conf is set
    to 'localtime'. The problem didn't occurs on the previous kernel (2.6.18) I had, so I've been using its running config to
    compile the new one (2.6.23). The thing is, the previous kernel works fine, no filesystem check failed in boot. Only
    difference between those two is I had to enable HOTPLUG in the newer kernel to get udev working, otherwise it would
    complain about failing netlink socket in initscript.
    As a temporary solution, I commented out the filesystem check from the rc.sysinit and it boots further. This time
    it fails to mount my /boot/ and /home/ directory and fails to activate my swap. Effectively only root is mounted, but
    after logging in, "mount -a" works without any problems and I can use my system normally.
    I have compiled all(?) the needed modules to the kernel, so initramfs shouldn't be needed, but I've tried it anyway, no
    luck there. The system is build with 2009.08 core install disc, no packages updated as far as I recall.

  • 2nd try and installation still fails at filesystem check PLEASE HELP

    This is my second install of Arch.....and it failed again. It said it could not locate the super block for /root. I used the by-label naming scheme and had a /boot, swap, /root and /home directory. /root and /home were both ext4, /boot was ext2. For some reason when checking file systems it could not locate the superblock on /dev/disk/by-label/root. When i tried to use the by-label to replace the superblock it could not be found so i had to use /dev/sda3 (which was /root) I tired several different superblocks (located with systemrescuecd-testdisk) with no success. obviously i am doing something wrong and i would really like to fix it....when i try to access /etc/fstab it says permission denied....i was going to try and rename them by uuid but if i cant get in here i dont know how i would. i already got the uuid for each partition its just a matter of assigning it in fstab now i think.......i really dont wanna give up on arch so please help me out.

    ...Wait a sec. i am not going to make fan of you.but i must ask this for sure..
    you know?  "/"   (pronounce root) is not /root.  you need   /  . Did you make / ? if you dont have /  you cant set /root as a system. i dont know what is the matter of superblock by the post (no enough info). well, i am asking where is the  / because you didnt mention this at all. maybe you created / and call it /root?
    try it more simple. you only need / and swap partition to install(after you finish installation you can make rest of partitions if you have space)
    the point of Arch installation is you better finish it as simple as you can, then setup others after you boot from Archlinux.
    Arch installer is far from perfect. (just it is enough to complete installation)

  • I think I may have a virus on my MacBook laptop, ran disk utility, "filesystem verify failed." Help!

    I'm running a MacBook laptop and thought I might have a virus b/c i was browsing online a couple of days ago when i clicked on a link that appeared to automatically start downloading a file. I tried to stop it from downloading by clicking "cancel" in the downloads box that came up, but it compleatly downloaded before i could hit cancel. No programs automatically opened and started runnning (that i could see), but I've noticed slow browsing since then.
    I ran the disk utility, "verify disk," to see if there were any problems. It came back with this error message: "First aid failed: Disk Utility stopped verifying "Macintosh HD" because the following error was encountered:
    Filesystem verify or repair failed"
    The text is black inside the verifying history box until the last three lines, which say in red:
    "Invalid node structure
    Volume check failed
    Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
    Does this mean I have a virus? Are there other things I can do to confirm that I do or do not have a virus? How do I fix this problem?
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    Many thanks for your advice/comments in advance.

    Probably because the directory on the disk is corrupt.
    The error "invalid node structure" is one that will take either DiskWarrior or a reformat to fix.
    It has not to with any malware.

  • [SOLVED] Filesystem check failed on LVM partition...

    My server experienced a power outage last night, and I noticed today that it wasn't booting correctly. Apparently, the storage partition, /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvolstorage fails the filesystem check. The first time I booted into it, I ran a manual check and answered (y) to the questions. Now when booting, it quickly displays a bunch of numbers and that scrolls for a little while (goes too fast to understand what they are...). Then it says:
    ####Filesystem Check Failed####
    Please repair manually, blah blah blah
    I'm not really sure what to do. Running fsck does the whole numbers scrolling across the screen thing again, finally asking if I want to clone multiply-claimed blocks... =/ I don't want to answer yes anymore until I get someone's input. <_<
    EDIT: It said before that there are 81 inodes containing multiply-claimed blocks... Then it said a certain large file (inode #20) has 27818 multiply-claimed blocks shared with 24 other files, and it then lists other files.
    Last edited by XtrmGmr99 (2010-05-21 14:14:25)

    It went ahead and fixed the filesystem, however some of the files (music files mostly) are corrupted and won't play. I have backups of those so it's no big lose, as long as the file system works now.

  • Using fsck on internal slave bus and "Filesystem verify or repair failed"

    Hello-
    I had to move quite a few files today and in the blink of the eye, I lost my internal 200gig drive on the slave bus. Disk Utility sees the disk but will not mount the volume, giving the error "Invalid B-tree node size: 2010-08-08 22:24:33 -0500: Volume check failed. Filesystem verify or repair failed." Stellar Phoenix sees all the files but I can hardly afford $99 at the moment.
    Can I reboot in Safe Mode and access the slave drive through fsck? Or is fsck -fy only for the startup drive?
    Thank You.
    Rick

    Unfortunately, fsck cannot repair that error any more than Disk Utility. You need Disk Warrior to repair the drive assuming it's even repairable.

  • Western Digital 1TB Hard D "Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed."

    I've had this external Western Digital hard drive for a year, it stopped working, tried to repair in disc utility, repair/verify failed
    "Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
    thats all i get!
    now what do i do?

    If you have the data backed up, try using Disk Utility's Erase tab to reformat it. Then restore the data from backup.
    If you have no backups, you might have good luck with DiskWarrior. It costs about $100.
    If neither of those help, it sounds like the drive is dead.

    You will need Disk Warrior to fix the problem if Disk Utility cannot. However, to fix with DU you need to do this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Filesystem verify or repair failed

    Guys i also have the same problem, i try to insert my hard drive and it says "the disk inserted is not readeabe by this computer" but when I open disk utility to repair it says "First Aid failed, Error:  filesystem verify or repair failed". I am very frustrated, my work is due next week and most of it is in the drive. Please help. :-(

    Hello,
    You must repair the HD,  if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

  • Invalid key length, disk repair fails

    i am getting this disk error after macbookpro locks up, repeatable.
    invalid key length
    volume check failed
    error: filesystem verify or repair failed.
    this is the boot volume of the macbookpro running os 10.5.6. been running well for months, used everyday all day, then this am the finder and all other apps lock up, no application crash, just all hanging one after another. hard reset gets system back but it recurs in short order.
    i ran diskutil from the software restore dvdrom, three times. same results (error text above) each time. only option barring other solutions is to reinstall the system and restore data from a time machine bu.
    never seen this before. any ideas?
    thanks.

    thanks for further thoughts if anyone has any.

  • Volume check failed

    I had to boot from the install disc today, and in trying to verify the disk I get this message:
    Invalid node structure, Volume check failed, Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.  What should I do?
    The reason I'm trying to boot from the disc is because my computer stopped booting up a few days ago -- it gets to the apple logo and a loading bar, then shuts off.

    Where is your install package that shipped with your Mac when new?
    Always better to run Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your install disc with using fsck as an alternate only when your install package is not available.
    If there is a directory issue with your boot volume that Disk First Aid repair or fsck cannot successfully repair after running it several times, the problem is substantial and your options at that point are using a more substantial disk repair utility such as DiskWarrior (with no guarantee but DW has been known to work miracles) or backup all data and reformat the hard drive with the install package that shipped with your Mac and then re-install OS X and all applications.
    Hopefully you maintain a regular backup and updated your backup recently and if not, now is a good time to start for this very important reason and for other good reasons.
    You can can also check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc.

  • Main drive Verify & Repair failed

    I've got a problem. I was using Drive Genius to Defrag my Main drive. The application crashed in the middle of its run. The drive would then not mount on the desktop. I ran Disk Utility and received the following:"Volume check Failed----Volume: Filesystem Verify or Repair Failed. I rebooted using my backup. On boot-up a dialog box informed me that for a limited time the main drive would mount and to backup the drive. Disk Utility would not let me backup the drive. I tried to copy some critical files, from the main drive to the backup. I tried to reboot nothing. I did boot from the Install DVD, ran Disk utility. Got the same Verify/Repair failed message from both main & backup drive. Is there any thing I can try to recover my applications & data files??????????

    First, I would never use a defrag app on any of my Apple HDs. No need for it and as you see, lots of potential problems.
    Your HD may have been bad before defragging, which is why it failed (doesn't it first run it's own DU to check the HD???) but that's why we have TimeMachine.
    I am sure that the defrag program warns to backup before defragging. If not, it's not worth keeping.
    So you first need to boot into the Leopard DVD and reformat and partition your drive and then run DU to check if it is intact. If you still have HD errors, you need a new drive.
    Whatever the outcome, after booting into the Leopard DVD, you will see in the Utilities menu a restore option, which will allow you to recover your system previous to the disaster, and start again.

  • [SOLVED] Netbooting with PXE, TFTP and NFS / Numerous errors

    Greetings all, hope you can help me out.
    Been given a task by my company of making a network bootable ICA client (with X and Firefox, with the Citrix ICA client installed) as small as possible to minimize network traffic (as 440 workstations would be downloading the end-product simultaneously, so it'd beat ten bells of proverbial out of the core and edge switches for a little while). I discovered two options. One being to integrate everything in side a cloop image directly inside the INITRD. I have stacks of working INITRDs with their matched kernels yet being my first dabble in to extracting the INITRD, my faffing with CPIO has resulted in me nuking my base layout (Thank god for snapshotting in VMware Workstation!) 4 times, and either getting "Premature end of file" or a copius amount of lines stating "cpio: Malformed Number: <strange characters>" finally ending with "Premature end of file". As a result I went in search of another option, which would be booting off an NFS share. I followed the guide:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dis … t_NFS_root
    ...in order to set up a network booted install of Arch and hit a few snags along the way, probably a result of using multiple operating systems for the TFTP and NFS server as opposed to using what the guide recommends, but I'm not sure as these seem solvable, although I don't know how right now.
    The set up:
    DHCP is provided by a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 VM (AD Integrated) on 172.16.10.17 on a box called "Rex".
    TFTP is provided by another Windows Server 2003 VM by "TFTPd32" which is a free download. This is located on 172.16.10.158 on a box called "Terra".
    The NFS store is provided by OpenFiler 2.3 which is a specialized version of rPath Linux designed specifically for turning boxes in to dedicated NAS stores. This is located on 172.16.10.6, and is called "frcnet-nas-1".
    The problem:
    DHCP is correctly configured with a Boot Host Name (Which is 172.16.10.158) and a boot file name of "pxelinux.0". This is confirmed as working.
    Client gets the kernel and INITRD from TFTP and boots up fine until it hits "Waiting for devices to settle..." by which point it echos out "Root device /dev/nfs doesn't exist, attempting to create it...", which it seems to do so fine. It then passes control over to kinit and echos "INIT: version 2.86 booting" and the archlinux header, and immediately after that it prints:

    ...and, nothing after that, it just stops. Kernel doesn't panic, and hitting ctrl+alt+delete does what you'd expect, a clean shutdown minus a few errors about filesystems not being mounted. It seems /proc isn't getting mounted because init apparently doesn't have the appropriate permissions, and /proc not being mounted causes a whole string of other issues. Thing is, proc gets created at boot time as it contains kernel specific information about the system and the kernel's capabilities, right? Why can't it create it? How come init doesn't have the same privileges as root as it usually would, and how would I go about fixing it?
    I admit, while I'm fairly competent in Linux, this one has me stumped. Anyone have any ideas?

    The idea behind the Windows DHCP and TFTP is that we'd be using an existing server and a NetApp box with NFS license to serve everything off. I would have loved to make a new server which is completely Linux, but my boss, nor the other technician have ever used Linux so if I left for any reason, they'd be stuck if ever they ran in to trouble, which is why I've struggled to get Linux to penetrate our all Windows infrastructure.
    During my hunting around on Google I found a lot of information on making my own initrd, and a lot of it using all manner of switches. I can make them fine, but I figure that I would need to look at extracting the current working one first, adding X, Firefox and the ICA client to it, then compressing it again. Cloop came about when I was looking at DSL's internals. The smaller the initrd, the better, so utilizing this could possibly be a plus too.
    The reason I'm doing this with Archlinux is that I know Arch's internals quite well (and pacman is just wonderous, which is more than I can say for yum), so if I run in to a small problem I'm more likely to fix it without consulting Google. Fair enough though, the NFS booting method is giving me issues I never thought were possible. Ahh, sods law strikes again.
    Addendum: I've noticed something which struck me as odd. Files in the NFS share are somehow owned by 96:scanner instead of root:root. Upon attempting changing, it's telling me "Operation Not Permitted". Further prodding has led me to believe it's an Openfiler thing where GID/UID 96 on the OpenFiler box is "ofgroup"/"ofguest". Chowning / to root:root puts NFS boot right ahead and gives me a prompt, however I cannot log in as root. I've also discovered that chrooting in to the base from my Arch workstation and creating a directory makes the directory owned by ofgroup:ofguest again, so it's an Openfiler thing after all this time. Prodding further.
    Addendum two: For anyone using Openfiler out there, when you allow guest access to the NFS share, be sure to set the Anonymous GID and Anonymous UID to 0. By default it's 96 and as a result when trying to boot you get the errors I experienced. This is insecure and you should use some sort of network/host/ip range restriction. Because the root filesystem has 96:96 as the owner of everything after you install the base layout using pacman (and any changes you make afterward) init and root no longer have the appropriate permissions, user 96:96 (which is "scanner" in Archlinux) has the permissions instead and init, in order to complete boot would need to be "scanner" in order to boot completely.
    Solution is to set Anon GID and Anon UID to 0, chown the entire diskless root filesystem to root, then use a linux desktop to mount the diskless root filesystem, mount /proc, /sys and mount bind /dev, then chroot in to the diskless root filesystem. At this point to clear up any problems with bad passwords, use passwd to change your password. Exit the chroot environment then unmount the diskless proc, sys and dev. Boot up via the network and use your chosen password to log in as root. At this point, start clearing up permissions from the en masse filesystem chown and you should then have a usable diskless root.
    I'll experiment further and clear up some of the remaining permission errors that occured during boot and report on my progress in fixing it. Didn't like the idea of chowning the entire share as root. :S

  • Time Machine external hard drive not recognized

    I connected an Iomega Ultramax 500GB Hard Drive to my imac to set up time machine. It has worked well for years but now has disappeared and time machine no longer backs up to the hard drive. The drive is recognized in the system profiler and I have tried Repair Disk with the Disk Utility but get the message:
    Invalid record count
    Volume check failed
    Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
    Can someone give me some guidance? Thanks!

    If you don't have backups, and the drive doesn't work, you may have lost all the data. There are ways to try to recover data from a failed drive, but I have no experience with that and can't help. If the data is valuable to you, your best chance is to send the drive to a data-recovery service such as DriveSavers, but that will be very expensive.

  • Open-vm-tools/official vmware tools not installing.

    I'm trying to install the latest offical vmware tools (16/9/2013) and open-vm-tools but both seem to always fail. I tried some of the patches listed on the wiki, but nothing got me anywhere.
