[SOLVED]multiply-claimed blocks, files don't seem broken, fsck differs

In this laptop there's a 1TB hdd(mechanical, not SSD) with all kinds of multimedia files. Lots of files that have been added after a certain point in time seem to have a problem, as I found out by running "e2fsck -n /dev/sdX1" on that partition.
It greets me with this sort of output:

Clone multiply-claimed blocks? no
Delete file? no
When I listen/look at those files through mplayer, it doesn't seem to have any problems whatsoever in playing them and I don't hear any glitches. Everything seems to be fine with the files themselves.
Now, before I run "e2fsck -y /dev/sdX1" and lose a lot of precious time reripping music, I was wondering about the chances e2fsck may cause damage. Or whether not fixing (what doesn't seem to be broken) may cause disasters of even greater proportions in the long run.
Please help?

The reason I asked was because $favouritesearchengine got me mixed results. One case stated everything was fine, afterwards, another said some files went missing or were misplaced.
But luckily, the number of directories in question isn't that high, so I'll backup manually and see how things works out. I'll report back here afterwards so future generations will know what to do.

  • I need to move my profile to an external drive but the edits I make to the profile.ini file don't seem to be working

    I am using a Mac, and need to have my profile be on an external drive. I edit the profile.ini file per the instructions I found here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
    but it's not working. I must have the path wrong. Again, I am using a Mac. Here is the info in the profile.ini file:
    [General]
    StartWithLastProfile=1
    [Profile0]
    Name=default
    IsRelative=0
    Path=Macintosh%HD/My%20Passport/Thunderbird/Profiles/o6fqy09d.default
    Default=1
    Do you see anything about the path that looks incorrect? The "My Passport" is the external drive.
    Also, if there was an updated disk image for Portable Thunderbird, I could try setting that up but all I can find is a very old one which I tried but it won't update.
    Thank you,
    Todd

    The "My Passport" external drive must be mounted somewhere in the file system. That's the path you need to use.

  • M4P files don't seem to work in Imovie HD

    I am having trouble using M4P songs I purchased on Itunes in Imovie. They cause the Ken Burns effect to be shaky. I do not have the same problem when I use music I imported from CD's. Has anyone else had this issue?

    I guess I was sleepy... it's [11.0.10] not 10.0.10
    At any rate, the key path I used mentioned @ http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/QuickKeys/EnhancedSecurityQuickKeyAll.pd f (for reader 11.x) is
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown]; I noticed they also show up in the equivalent key under Wow6432Node.
    I even restarted these PC's after ensuring the registry values were all there - but it was the same situation after reboot.
    I don't know how it would matter, but some additional details that may help:
    All the values all being applied from the SYSTEM user, as I'm deploying these as a Compliance Baseline from Configuration Manager.
    it might be possible that all affected installations were installed with an .mst

  • Images in my remote file don't seem to be linking

    Hi,
    I am having problems with my images. They all work and show up fine in my local view, but when I put them onto remote server they are not showing, so something is not linking somewhere. I have tried deleting the files in remote & putting them in again.
    Here is my link http://www.denotestationery.com/denote_localroot1/denotehome.html
    And I have attached a screenshot of what my files folder looks like in remote view. You can see that most of the image file symbols are blank.
    Can anyone tell me where I am going  wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    While I am limited in knowing what images I should be seeing, I am seeing some images in your site.  What pages are missing which images?

  • [solved] systemd service files don't allow quotes

    Why is it not possible to use quotes in
    ExecStart=
    section of systemd service files?
    For example, I can't use service file like this
    [Unit]
    Description=Pacman mirrorlist update
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=wget -O /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup "https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?country=DE&country=NL&country=PL&protocol=http&ip_version=4" && cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && reflector --verbose -l 50 -p http --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
    because systemd will not run it because of presence of quotes:
    Feb 26 08:48:36 nanoBox systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/reflector.service:7] Executable path is not absolute, ignoring: wget -O /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup "URL=http...
    Feb 26 08:48:36 nanoBox systemd[1]: reflector.service lacks both ExecStart= and ExecStop= setting. Refusing.
    I can remove quotes and then the service will run, but the URL parsed to the command will be cut in half, ie it will stop on the first "&" sign and only DE mirrors will be probed.
    Is there some way around it other than creating a separate executable file and calling it from the service? I don't want to multiply unnecessary files if there's way around it.

    Not "is" but "was". Disappearance of that assumption was precisely the reason of starting this thread.
    I had to read this a few times, but I think you mean it as follows. You assumed you could copy from the shell to the service file and it would work the same way. Then you got an error (about the abolute path) so that assumption "disappeared". So far so good. But you didn't exactly figure out what was different, you formed a new assumption and based your thread on that:
    "systemd service files don't allow quotes" (title)
    "Why is it not possible to use quotes in ExecStart= section of systemd service files"
    "because systemd will not run it because of presence of quotes:"
    Like frank604 says, quotes were never the issue (in fact, they are one of the few things with special meaning for both the shell and systemd), yet you still seem to think they were:
    Lockheed wrote wrote:The actual wrong assumption on my part was that this command would run without quotes as service. It does not.
    It is a shame you only quote the first part of my last reply and ignore the questions in the second part. You did almost the same thing with my reply before that and I suspect you also didn't read the man page I mentioned the first time. You basically give me the impression that you think you have it all figured out (even though you come here looking for help) and my follow-up questions aren't worth your time. That usually makes me "move along" pretty quickly, but I'm trying one last time, because even though "The service now works", I'd like to see that you actually understand why it didn't work before.
    The only thing you really answered was "Changing paths to absolute made no difference.", but that shouldn't be, so when you mentioned empirical evidence, I basically repeated the question asking for some of this evidence (as in exact error messages for one or more modified ExecStart lines).
    When I take your service file and give wget an absolute path, systemd happily executes wget, but then wget complains because it gets "&&" and "cp" and "--save" etc. as arguments. Those errors are what I see in systemctl status/journal, no longer anything about an absolute path. This is because "&&" has no special meaning. You can use semicolons (";") to separate commands instead (explained in the man page section on command lines) or multiple ExecStart lines like frank604 used (which is cleaner IMO).

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I don't seem to have the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file that has been a common solution. Any suggestions?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?

    Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
    I can't get passed the complete installation
    What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
    all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
    The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application.  If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
    You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
    Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
    in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
    In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
    Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
    Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
    If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
    Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.

  • I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
    One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

  • HT4539 How do I load music samples to iMovie on ipad. Programs don't seem to save to file for transfer

    Some apps I have downloaded don't seem to save music files outside of themselves. I need to save to file of some kind for use in iMivie for example. The catalog in iMovie music only has what came with the download.

    Sorry jrock,
    You can use iTunes files to load other mp3 players with music files but iPods don't function like other mp3 players. You can't just load mp3's onto an iPod and play them, you have to use iTunes.

  • ITunes opens only in safe mode; freezes upon normal opening (possible solutions that I found to similar problems don't seem to apply)

    Hello. I've encountered a problem with my iTunes that I would like some help on solving. My computer uses Windows Vista. iTunes recently began to freeze as soon as I opened its window. On two occasions, it appeared to work the first time after turning the computer on, but would freeze upon subsequent openings. No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all. However, iTunes appears to work just fine when I open it in safe mode (holding Shift + Ctrl while opening), although I have not yet attempted to sync a device while using safe mode. I attempted to update iTunes to its most recent version (10.6.3.25) after first experiencing this problem. The first time I tried, it didn't work, saying that "errors occured" during the update. I disabled my antivirus software (Kaspersky Antivirus 2012) and tried again. This time, my computer said that the update was successful. However, the freezing problem has persisted.
    After looking through Apple support and other discussion topics, I found several things to check for (relating to similar problems) as follows. I checked for them, but they don't seem to apply to my situation. Here is what i found.
    From Apple Support:
    Check for third-party plugins in the following two folders:
    -C:\Users\username\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\
    Result: I found this folder, but it is empty, even with "Show hidden files and folders" enabled.
    -C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins
    Results: I did not find a "Plug-ins" folder in this directory, nor in the iTunes directory in Program Files (x86). However, there is a "Mozilla Plugins" folder in the (x86) directory, containing files "npitunes.dll" and "npitunes.xpt."
    From Community Discussions:
    -Conflict with Advanced SystemCare security tool by IObit or iCloud Control Panel
    Result: These do not appear to be installed on my computer.
    I also found something about Bonjour service, and that some people's similar problems were temporarily resolved when disabling Bonjour and reopening iTunes. I tried this, but it did not make a difference.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? Thanks for the help!

    No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all.
    I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

  • Is there a limit on the size of the input for the Solve Linear Equations block?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to figure out why the Solve Linear Equations block will properly function with some sets of data and why it won't with others. What my program is doing is taking a signal and comparing it with a batch of sine and cosine waves to try and pick out patterns in the data. I have different sample sizes and it seems to work when I throw 3900 points at it. However, I have another set with 4550 points and it gives me incorrect amplitudes for my sinusoids.  Is there some limit to the size of the matrices that I can give this block? Or is there some other workaround that still allows me to keep all of my data?
    Thanks,
    David Joseph

    Well, the best way to show what I expect is to see the entire program. It's pretty evident that when looking at the graphs, something isn't right. What is supposed to happen is that the runout amplitudes are found, and then those sinusoids are subtracted from the initial data, leaving tooth to tooth data and noise. When I use the larger arrays, it seems as though not all of the data gets through (count the peaks on the product gear runout graph vs. initial) and the amplitudes are much to small, such that nothing is really taken out and the tooth to tooth data looks like the initial data.
    Also, we will also be using an FFT, but it will be limited to only determining the frequencies we should check. I've fought with the fft blocks quite a bit and I just prefer to not use them. Plus, the guy I'm writing this for wants exact answers and does not want to pad or resample the data or use windows.
    The exact number of data points isn't important (ie. 4550 vs 4551) since I use the array size block to index the for loop.
    As for typical values, they can change a lot based on materials. But, the original 3900 data point sets and the 4550 data point sets used practically identical gears. So, use the original 3900 sets I've included as references (check the RO array block numbers to compare).
    I've included 3 3900 samples, 3 4550 samples, and 3 4550 samples that have been truncated to 3900 or so as constants on the block diagram.
    Also, the check for additional runouts (like 3 per rev, 4 per rev, etc..) is optional, but if you choose to use it, use positive integers only.
    I don't know how much of this program will make sense and I have wires running everywhere.. so good luck. Keep in mind I'm only a student and I hadn't touched Labview until about 2 or 3 months ago.
    Thanks,
    David Joseph

    Hi,
    The number of commits can be retrieved from v$sysstat and v$sesstat.
    There are no commit statements in any trace file,
    you need to look at lines starting with XCTEND in the raw trace data.
    Also the size of the log_buffer has 0 to do with the log file sync event, and setting big log_buffer is the typical 'more is better' tuning which doesn't help.

    How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

    If the fonts are installed on the OS they should be there already. If they were only available to CS5 they are probably in the fonts folder in the Adobe section of the Common files (location will be OS dependent), or they may be in ID's own fonts folder.
