Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Urgent: OT: Solaris: Super block corrupted
Hi All,
First of all let me confess my ignorance about Solaris System administration, so this might be a naive and improperly worded question.
One of our test servers crashed due to power failure. While rebooting it showed a problem with the super-block of one file system and advised to run fsck manually. On doing the same it threw the same error and advised to recover from an alternate superblock.
So the System Admin ran the command "fsck -y -o b=32 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5". The command is running since the last 4 hours. It is throwing errors like Unknown File Type I=1045255 Clear=Y and continues with the next INODE.
Is it normal? How long does it typically take? Will it check each and every possible INODE? If so, how many inodes are there?
>From whatever I make out of the documentation, if the file-system is created
without specifying "nbpi" (which I think our sysadmin did) it creates 1
inode for every 2048 bytes of storage.
Our file system is ~140 GB, so does it contain approximately 73 million inodes? If that is the case going by the fact that it has reached I=~1 million in about 4 hours, it will take forever to recover.
Please advise.
Regards,
Naveen Nahata
