Hi, I just lost all of my filesystems on my 5.1 box. I was running mnogosearch's indexer on my website while several errors occured. I guess there were 320 of these errors, cause the last message was "last message repeated 320 times". Unfortunately /var is lost as well, so I don't have more error messages. kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 23536, size: 4096 kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. kernel: done kernel: bad block 4190320178290426368, ino 402986 kernel: pid 42 (syncer), uid 0 inumber 402986 on /usr: bad block I decided to reboot into singleuser and run fsck. I noticed, that the buffers couldn't be flushed before restarting and the system couldn't boot. It said: "not ufs" I plugged the harddisk into another computer and tried to run fsck. It couldn't find a superblock, used an alternative one and coredumped while trying to repair the first error. Before dumping, it said something like "Couldnt allocate 3900000000 bytes for inoinfo". I can only remember the value of around 3.9G. This happened on all filesystems of ad0. I could mount the filesystem but not access it, but df said: Used: -2.8T (on a 40G disk). I surrendered on that and ran newfs. I don't know why, but fsck works on ad1. fsck said something like "softupdate inconsistency" while trying to repair the filesystem which obviously didn't completely work. # fsck /dev/ad1s1e ** /dev/ad1s1e Cannot find file system superblock LOOK FOR ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS?

Do you have any ideas, how I could recover the data on this disk ? Cheers, TomReceived on Sun Aug 24 2003 - 10:26:15 UTC
