Dear FreeBSD people
I started to learn and used FreeBSD from last year. And I found FreeBSD is
really very powerful and lovely. But I am also a little scared of it, for
then it has problem, I just do not know how to fix it.
Here I came up a big emergent problem this morning, and I wish you can give
me your precious advice and help.
I have been using a script drivecopy.sh for a couple of months to do full
backup once a week. This drivecopy.sh is a small scripts to copy whole IDE
HDD (of freeBSD)
to another HDD. Please have a look at the attached script drivecopy.sh
It worked very fine till yesterday.
Last night, As usual,I started ./drivecopy.sh to backup my FreeBSD4.3
server
(Disk1) on another HDD(Disk2). Disk2 has been used successfully as backup
for more than 10 times with same procedure of ./drivecopy.sh.
So it seemed the start up going smoothly, then I left the server room.
This morning, when I came to check the server and backup. (which was
supposed to have finished). And I surprised to find all those horrible
error
messages on the console screen:
***start to quote error message
ad0s2e: had error reading fsbn 97103692 of 3473456-3473467(ad0s2 bn
97103692; cn 6044 fn 108 sn 28) status=59 error=40
cannot read: BLK 3473456
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY.
**end of error message quote
So I had to force to suspend the backup process by pressing Ctrl+Z.
Then I tried to reboot Disk1. I had problem during the booting process.
**start to quote error message
....
chflags: not found
chown: not found
cd: can't cd to /var/run
cd: can't cd to /var/spool/lock
/etc/rc: cann't create /var/run/dmesg.boot directory nonexistent
cd: can't cd to /var/run
/etc/rc: cannot ceate
/var/run/clean_var:dirctory nonexitent.
Enter full path of shell or return for /bin/sh
.....
**end of error message quote
Then I just press Enter and came to the single boot mode. I typed the
following command to try to munually fsck the problem partition.
#fsck /dev/ad0s2e
The console then showed the following message.
**/dev/ad0s2e
**Last mounted on /www
**Phase 1 -check block & size
cannot read: BLK 19596336
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY
continue [y/n]
.......
Looks like the manual fsck doesn't working here.
Then I tried my luck to boot Disk2.Unfortunately, it showed the same errors
as Disk2 during booting.
Your advice will be highly appreciated.
Jennifer
P.S. The attached is my drivecopy.sh,which had worked fine for the previous
backup processes except yesterday. So I do not think anything wrong with
the
drivecopy.sh itself. There must be something wrong with my yesterday's
backup process, though I can not find out what it is.
