[ubuntu] xfs or ext4 etc.?

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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 (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] xfs or ext4 etc.?

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).

FSCK on boot 23 weeks 2 days ago

I am new to Fedora coming from Ubuntu (Debian)

Under Ubuntu they had their OS setup to run fsck every X number of mounts.

Does Fedora do this? Does it check each mount point? How often? Where is that command at and in which file?

I see how to set it up but I don't want to overright the defaults if it is already setup.

I want to take good care of my ext4's.

Yet another filesystem question. I wanted to use a USB drive that I hadn't mounted for a month or so and was surprised by the fact Ubuntu was unable to mount it. I looked it up in the disk utility and it said it discovered a device with 17 MB instead of 2 GB.

Corrupt Ext4 LVM, fsck? 3 years 24 weeks ago

I go to bed and my computer is fine and working. I come home from work, no signs of a power outage, and my computer has errors regarding a corrupt disk. Drops to Cmd prompt.

I have a couple of external drives formatted to ext4,after some use I can see this message Code: EXT4-fs (sdc1): warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended every time I attach one of them:do I have to run a manual fsck after unmounting it,or can I safely ignore the warning ?

Automatic fsck 42 weeks 5 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.

fsck stands for "file system check" [1].  systemd will check all of your filesystems every time you boot [2].  systemd-fsck[145]: /dev/sda4: clean, 2977/296096 files, 85427/1217024 blocks systemd-fsck[151]: /dev/sda1: clean, 345/26104 files, 34083/104388 blocks (check after next mount)These messages mean that there are no problems with your filesystems and they are "clean&

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.
