[SOLVED] "Superblock could not be read" error on install

I've been trying desperatly to install Arch Linux on my main computer but this error almost always shows up after 1 or two reboots (usually when I'm finished installing base system and about to install Xorg):
:: Checking Filesystems
/dev/sdc3:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternative superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I installed Arch by following the install guide and choosing Auto-prepare partitioning where I chose EXT4 as FS for /home and / I believe, so Im guessing the filessytems are set-up properly.
I have no idea why this error keeps coming back reinstall after reinstall (with complete format of HD in each reinstall). First I thought the HD might have gone bad so I tried installing arch to another HD and the error still shows.
Sometimes if I reboot enough times the error doesn't show and sometimes it just doesn't go away, seems like it's kind of random.
The harddisk I am installing to is a 30GB IDE Maxtor harddisk (a couple of years old) and I also tried with a 40GB Seagate IDE harddisk both with no success. When I installed I had 2 other harddisks in my system; a 60GB OCZ agility SSD and a 640GB Wester Digital both on SATA channels, but they are unplugged now.
I'm really lost as what to do here, I love Arch Linux and have used it for some time on my laptop but I never had any kind of problems like this.
Here's output from 'fdisk -l' run from the "maintanence mode" I get into when the error shows "Give root password for maintenance".
I find it weird that Arch tells me the error is on "/dev/sdc3:" when my harddisk is /dev/sda (my other two harddisks are unplugged, but it shows the error both with and without them so I guess it doesnt matter):
fdisk -l

How many hard drives you have installed at the moment?
Atm I have 3 HDs installed; my Arch HD, my OCZ agility and my Western Digital.

Thanks, I used blkid and set-up UUID in /etc/fstab and it seems to be working now.
Can anyone explain how come that the /dev/sdx assignments seems to be randomly distributed among my HDs on each reboot - is this normal? I tried using 'blkid' on a few reboots and noticed that the problem occured everytime the HD arch is installed on was NOT assigned to /dev/sdc, but when it was assigned to /dev/sdc (which was in fstab) it worked fine.
Isn't it weird that Arch seems to assign a different /dev/sdx number to each harddisk on reboots? I mean, if this is normal, why doesn't Arch use UUIDs by default? At first I thought the different /dev/sdx assignments was caused by changing boot order in the BIOS, but the assignments seem to change even when I don't enter the BIOS and just reboot without touching a thing - one reboot it works and one it doesn't (due to differnet /dev/sdx assignment to my Arch hd).
EDIT:
I found the answer to my question on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Per … ice_naming - Arch randomly assigns device nodes so it seems the UUID fix is the way to avoid unbootable systems.
Is it possible to make Arch use UUIDs in the install so I don't have to configure it manually afterwards? (Why doesn't it use UUIDs by default?)
Thanks for the answers,
John

  • Superblock could not be read - sometimes

    Hi all,
    I recently installed Arch Linux on one of my desktops and have been noticing the "superblock could not be read" error on some of the bootups. It doesn't happen all the time, only sometimes.  I don't know what's causing it or why it's happening. Here is a picture of the error:

  • [SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

    I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump.  While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
    btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
    [root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
    error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read

    error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
    error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
    error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)
    error: failed to synchronize any databases
    Any tips as to whats going on?  I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

    Glad you got it working.
    I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot.  The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.  You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got.  It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly.  I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare.  NB*  these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

  • [SOLVED] "The superblock could not be read..."

    Good Evening.
    In the beginning, I want to apologise if my English isn't as correct and comprehensible as I want it to be.
    I am rather clueless Linux user with penchant for learning. I have used Slackware for some time, but I wanted to try out Arch because of it's superior package management, rolling release system and minimalism. I read through installation guides, and performed basic installation using 2009.08 CD without any problems. When I tried to boot into my new system I got following message:
    :Mounting Root Read-only [DONE]
    :Checking Filesystems [BUSY]
    /dev/hda1:
    and then
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
    filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b -8193 <device>
    and finally
    FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED
    Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write type:
    mount -n -o remount,rw /
    When you exit the maintenance shell the system will reboot automatically.
    I tried to run fsck, of course, as well as e2fsck or remounting / read-write but I always got the second message "The superblock could not be read... etc.".
    My partitioning scheme is kinda tricky, because I make no distinction beetween production and testing machine. What is interesting, when I wanted to look at it using cfdisk from my indispensable Knoppix DVD I got something like:
    FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0:
    Partition ends in the final partial cylinder.
    Press any key to exit cfdisk.
    But when I tried with root privileges it worked, and my 80GB hard drive looks something like that:
    hda1 Primary Linux ext3 (/)
    hda2 Boot Primary NTFS
    hda3 Primary Linux
    hda5 Logical W95 FAT32
    hda6 Logical BeOS fs
    hda7 Logical Linux ext2 (boot)
    hda8 Logical Linux ReiserFS (tmp)
    hda9 Logical Linux ReiserFS (usr)
    hda10 Logical Linux ReiserFS (var)
    hda11 Logical Linux ext3 (home)
    hda12 Logical Linux Swap/Solaris (swap)
    Only hda1, hda7, hda8, hda9, hda10, hda11 and hda12 are part of my Arch installation. I'm currently booting Windows XP through GRUB from NTFS partition (hda2) too.
    Does anyone know how to make my Arch working installation?

    My bad, I actually didn't read Begginers' Guide very carefully. I didn't realize that setting this UUIDs in fstab is so important. Now my fstab looks something like that (mind that this is slightly different partitioning scheme):

    UUID=de1d9d94-09ef-4429-b63e-fddea5e81195 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2 #/dev/hdb1
    and I am happily using Arch right now. However, I have got strange non-critical issues with partitions and disks which I explained in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 82#p791582.

  • "superblock could not be read" + lvm2

    Hello guys,
    after a power failure my system stop working, the boot procedure stops with the following msg:
    :: Checking Filesystems
    /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02:
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.

  • "ABC could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" error when downloading

    Almost every time I download a file, the download gets to the end and then I get this error "<filename> could not be saved, because the source file could not be read", and then the download fails.
    I checked my addons and they are not the problem. This doesn't happen when I try another Firefox profile. I tried several solutions offered in "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files" but they didn't help. It's not my antivirus.

  • Memory could not be read Error Fixed

    At least 6 months ago, I noticed that every time I opened my
    default page in Dreamweaver and closed it, Dreamweaver would crash.
    I would get the famous Application Error, "The instruction at
    "0x5ad71531" referenced memory at "0x00000014". The memory could

    What I figured out is that right about that time, I had
    switched my default browser for viewing to Firefox Mozilla.
    Today, while I was testing some things out, I noticed that
    the Check Browser Support list, only had Internet Explorer and
    Netscape.
    After I added Firefox Mozilla to the list of browser to check
    compatibility for, the problem disappeared.
    Go figure.

    Great detective work!
    I can't seem to reproduce this problem. What version of DW do
    you use?
    Was Internet Explorer or Netscape defined as either Primary
    or Secondary
    browsers? Any other details to help me reproduce this so we
    can fix it
    if it's still in the code?
    Thanks,

  • Skype 7.0 memory could not be read error on shutdo...

    Hello, yestarday I upgraded to Skype 7.0.0.100 and when I shutdown the computer, restart or log off I get this error message: The instruction at 0x60afedfe referenced memory at 0x069b26a0. The memory could not be read.
    I mention that I unchecked the option to "play a sound when I sign out" and I disabled uPnP (as mentioned in other threads).
    This issue is the result of a conflict with the Asus Xonar DG SI 7.1 audio card, but unchecking the option to "play a sound when I sign out" fixed the problem in the previous version 6.
    The error doesn't generate any kind of information in the event viewer.
    My OS: Win 8.1 Pro
    Any suggestions?

  • ITunes 7: "memory could not be read" error

    I am running the latest version of iTunes 7 and sometimes get the following error message:
    "Instruction at Ox5ad71331 referenced memory at 0x00000014. Memory could not be read"
    This happens after iTunes crashes. The appearance of the crash is that the font will become very dark/bold and dark lines will appear around the cells of the library, then the program will crash.
    Is this related to iTunes 7 or Multi-Plugin, which I use to make my media buttons on my laptop work with iTunes? I have no skinning options chosen.
    Thanks.

    I uninstalled the Multi-plugin and haven't had the problem since, in fact, no crashes at all.

    Hi AndreasC,
    This error message occurs when LabVIEW memory space goes corrupt and is often due a DLL or CIN code.
    There can be two reasons for this:
    1. Try removing all DLL calls in your code and see if it works. Most of the time, the corruption is traced to a call to a DLL function that has incorrectly passed inputs to the Call Library Function node, often by passing an uninitialized string or array, or by writing past the bounds of the string or array in the DLL function. Some DLL functions assume that a string buffer is presized to 256 bytes, 1 KB, or some other size. If a smaller sized string buffer is passed, the DLL can write past the buffer and corrupt the dataspace that follows.
    2. This error can also be caused when running a LabVIEW built executable. If the VI calls a WinAPI DLL function and uses the full path to the DLL in the Call Library Function Node, the LabVIEW Application Builder will create a copy of the DLL in the data directory of the executable. Some DLLs such as WinAPI DLLs should only reside in one location, such as C:\WINDOWS\system32, otherwise errors/crashes can occur when called. To prevent this, remove the DLL path in the Call Library Function Node when calling WinAPI DLLs.
    Some users have faced similar problems and the above solutions have worked for them.

  • Memory could not be read error.

    I keep getting the following error while using Form Designer 7:
    The instruction at "0x022221b2" referenced memory at "0x0000001c". The memory could not be "read".
    It happens, randomly, when doing a number of things:
    inserting a static text area
    moving a form field
    resizing a static form field....
    In other words, no one thing seems to be causing it. If anyone has any ideas on this one it would be most helpful. Right now it is a pain in the butt since I keep losing information everytime it crashes.

    Can't help with why but....<br /><br />If Designer crashes you can recover the last PDF that you previewed by going to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp and finding the most recent pdf with a name such as _12bs10afg3a40f3t7j.pdf. That should be the last version you Previewed.<br /><br />Rich Ruiz<br />Novanis

  • Backup discs could not be read error occurred (-50). HELP!

    I'm using itunes 9.0.2; running Windows XP on Oracle Virtual Box in Ubuntu 10.04. the latest itunes will not work and 9.0.2 is the closest i can get.
    One out of 4 backup discs contains only the itunes purchases and it works but a message pops up: +'could not restore some of the files from the play-list'+, +'they may be on other backup discs'+ even though all the songs on disc play. I put the next disc in and the following message pops up: +'the disc cannot be read. an unknown error occurred (-50)'.+
    Any ideas why this is happening? I loaded the discs in the latest itunes on another PC and it is fine. would it be that I may be using an older itunes then when i backed up the other discs and so not compatible? is that possible??
    Any help on how to get all my music back on would be great!!

    vbnet_win_export.zip will probably be the best sample to use.

  • "Segment Version could not be read"  Error in IDX2

    Hi All,
    I did one File-IDOC Scenario. But now  there is a change in IDOC Structure. A extra segmetn is added. Now i reimported the definition in Design and made changes accordingly.
    But while trying to import the idoc in IDX2 i m getting a error that segment version could not be found.
    What might be the reason for this. Do i need to do any changes in the Channel Definition or Is it a Error in R/3 side?

    Check if new segment is released in R/3 system ..
    Go to transaction WE30 on R/3. Give your IDoc type..double click  to new created segment>segment editor> there see if Released check box is check..
    As you are saying new seg is reimported in IDoc then the segment must be released ..
