Title: Journal has aborted
Post by: Svante Drugge on February 19, 2003, 12:17:09 AM

Did also post this in the general forum but no one there seems to know the answer.

I am completly new to SME and Linux and can not find any good howto on the web on how to fix this problem !!!!


Help !

I recently installed SME 5.6 and everything worked just fine until this weekend. Don’t know what caused the problem but my disk is now in RO mode and nothing works. I would reinstall the machine if wasn’t for the fact that I still have some 800MB of data that I don’t have anywhere else.

Server-manager does not work (httpd down I guess) but ssh does.

Question ?
What do I have to do to make my disk rw again ?

Some info !
Etc/fstab

LABEL=/ / ext3 usrquota,grpquota 1 1
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none



dmesg

EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,3)) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted

If SSH is running on your SME, you can try to use WinSCP to connect to your server from a Windows machine and copy your data. Then you can reinstall SME  and copy your data back.
Unfortunately cannot help you with fixing your EXT3 partition.

Have you tried rebooting into single user mode and running fsck
