Re: Can't rebuild journal of EXT-3 partition

[Longming Lee <longming corp url com tw>]

Dear friends,

There is a EXT-3 partion in the FC2 hard disk, and it needs to
fsck for something wrong. I do the fsck while booting. But
6 hours passes and it can't be done. I stop fsck and then I
mount it to be EXT-2 OK.

I unmount this broken partition, and try to rebuild the journal of EXT-3,
but it is failure.

[root nfs2 root]# tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdb1
tune2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Illegal block number passed to ext2fs_unmark_block_bitmap #1632133966
for block bitmap for /dev/sdb1
Segmentation fault

How should I do to fix or rebuild the journal of this EXT-3 broken
partition?
    

Is it possible for you to move the files off the partition in ext2 mode,
then reformat it as a new ext3 partition and move the files back?

  

Hi Paul,

There are 200GB in this partition. It's a hard work to move out. Can find
alternative solution?
