Title: Error's on HD
Post by: Daniel on February 16, 2002, 09:18:28 PM
I have been using SME 5.0.3, for a couple of weeks, without any problems.

Recently I put another HD in the box, copied data on to it, and everything was fine for about a week.

I changed the moun point of the new HD to /home/e-smith, copied what was there to the new HD, changed fstab, and everything wored on reboot.

A week or so later I did a ls in /home/e-smith/files

and go

users - not a file or directory
somthing else - not a file or directory

and then the rest of the ls was fine.

I have run fsck.ext2 over the hd after unmounting it ..

It had problems with inodes being the wrong value, something about dtime, being somewhere it shouldn't

My Question is: is there any way to save the data, and is there a good hd maintenance program to warn of this in the future?

I am planning on using this server as a central data point, which I can add a tape backup solution..  any suggestions?

Thanks.
