[ubuntu] Very long (1+ wk, 20%) fsck.ext4

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, On 10.04.4 LTS. My backup server was improperly shut down due to power failure. However, at that time, backups were turned off. When turned back on, an automatic fsck was launched on a disk (first one since creation, ~300 days ago). After three days, because no progress was advertised, I killed it by pressing C. After a second killed fsck (I had to physically move the box and thus reboot again), a third one was launched manually. Code: sudo umount /backup/ sudo fsck -p -V /backup/ That was more than one week ago. fsck.ext4 progress bar reports 20% progress. Unfortu (Hardware)

Is there a way to check the progress of fsck.ext3 under Ubuntu, if I'm logged in remotely?

Obviously the time taken depends on a lot of factors, but if fsck has to option of displaying a progress bar, it should be possible

EDIT: Seems I didn't make the question clear enough.

Automatic fsck 42 weeks 6 days ago

From time to time it happens that I have a power failure and my computer shuts down uncleanly. Every time it happens, though, the next boot drops me into an emergency shell and tells me to run fsck manually. This has happened more than once, and each time the system boots fine after running fsck. When I used Ubuntu I never had to run it manually.

I have a Debian box with additional ( it is not a system disk ) 1.5Tb sata hdd (wd caviar green). There is only one partition on the whole disk.

Disk is used for backups from remote system (with rsnapshot, backup update runs every 4 hours) and rtorrent for some files.

[ubuntu] xfs or ext4 etc.? 50 weeks 6 days ago

Hi i remarked ext4, after a power failure, often needs a manual fsck, sometimes even resulting in data loss. Is XFS or other filesystems any better? Can I do fsck with xfs from the rescue boot etc.? Thanks

I have a headless Ubuntu 12.04 server in a datacenter 1500 miles away. Twice now on reboot the system decided it had to fsck. Unfortunately Ubuntu ran fsck in interactive mode, so I had to ask someone at my datacenter to go over, plug in a console, and press the Y key.

fsck report 1 year 36 weeks ago

Hi,Our filesystem check on servers took an agonizing 90 mins to finish. Its a 2TB san partition and fsck was due since we reached 189 days.My question is...Where does fsck ... [by sidharth]

I am a newbie in Linux. So this is my story

I installed Ubuntu server 10.04lts. It worked great for many months, until today i decided to run fsck on the system partition and although it warned me, I kept pressing yes and now it will only boot into grub prompt.

So i read some article and tried grub reinstall.
