| 06:28.30 | Nalle_ | Morning |
| 06:28.46 | pahartik | Hello Nalle_ Morning |
| 06:41.00 | Nalle_ | Morning paha |
| 06:41.21 | Nalle_ | paha, sorry had to go. Friend came over to visit. Care to try to figure out the mounting problem? |
| 06:41.47 | Nalle_ | If you have some time and ideas :) |
| 06:43.24 | pahartik | Nalle_: Did it work manually? |
| 07:03.24 | Nalle_ | I only got as far as using that disktype (or what was it?) which claimed the drive to be NTFS and then I looked at parted but I don't know how to use that |
| 07:04.08 | Nalle_ | The drive is how ever JFS because I formatted it as such |
| 07:04.19 | Nalle_ | It also has few hundred gigs of stuff in it |
| 07:04.24 | pahartik | Nalle_: For example "sudo mount -t auto -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt" |
| 07:04.34 | Nalle_ | I'll try.. a moment.. |
| 07:05.54 | Nalle_ | Nope, gives the same bitching about wrong fstype, option or superblock etc.. |
| 07:07.16 | pahartik | Nalle_: Why did it start complaining, if filesystem on partition used to work before? |
| 07:07.35 | Nalle_ | No idea. I just shutdown the server to move it to a different location |
| 07:07.51 | Nalle_ | When powered up, it started to bitch |
| 07:08.34 | Nalle_ | I've had it bitch something similar before when I had power-cut. But then running the fsck -t jfs /dev/sda1 fixed that and then I could mount as usual |
| 07:09.00 | pahartik | Nalle_: When reading media through with "dd", are there read errors? |
| 07:09.34 | Nalle_ | I could try, I guess. So, dd from device to /dev/null ? |
| 07:09.46 | Nalle_ | If I remember how to use dd.. :D |
| 07:10.05 | pahartik | Nalle_: Yes... |
| 07:10.45 | Nalle_ | Something like 'dd -if /dev/sda1 -of /dev/null -count 1000' for example? |
| 07:12.11 | pahartik | Nalle_: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M" |
| 07:14.11 | Nalle_ | no sudo btw on debian |
| 07:14.16 | Nalle_ | So running as root :) |
| 07:14.26 | Nalle_ | Should maybe install the sudo packages at some point :) |
| 07:15.32 | Nalle_ | root@gargoyle:~# dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null bs=1M |
| 07:15.32 | Nalle_ | dd: reading `/dev/sda1': Input/output error |
| 07:15.32 | Nalle_ | 0+0 records in |
| 07:15.32 | Nalle_ | 0+0 records out |
| 07:15.33 | Nalle_ | 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 41.6947 s, 0.0 kB/s |
| 07:15.53 | Nalle_ | :( |
| 07:17.06 | pahartik | Nalle_: Well then, block storage device or something around it is broken? |
| 07:18.57 | Nalle_ | Dunno, perhaps. fdisk -l doesn't see the drive, however, I can run fsck -t jfs /dev/sda1 and it goes through just dine |
| 07:19.00 | Nalle_ | fine even |
| 07:27.24 | Nalle_ | So what could I do? |
| 07:28.22 | pahartik | Nalle_: If one cannot even read blocks from device, I would not expect much |
| 07:30.55 | Nalle_ | Yeah but why does fsck work? |
| 07:32.29 | Nalle_ | Maybe it has offlined the drive some how or some block device is broken and would ned to be regenerated etc |
| 07:32.36 | Nalle_ | +e |
| 07:32.50 | Nalle_ | I am pretty sure the drive is just fine |
| 07:34.17 | pahartik | Nalle_: Power it up again then? |
| 07:35.45 | Nalle_ | Tried that. Also tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB cable |
| 07:35.50 | Nalle_ | Neither helped |
| 07:39.56 | pahartik | Nalle_: "dmesg | less" should show what errors block device has got so far |
| 07:40.42 | Nalle_ | No errors |
| 07:40.52 | Nalle_ | I think |
| 07:40.59 | Nalle_ | Cannot quite figure out the timestamping |
| 07:41.04 | Nalle_ | Wha are those, seconds etc? |
| 07:42.19 | pahartik | Nalle_: Seconds |
| 07:42.30 | Nalle_ | seconds.milliseconds ? |
| 07:42.37 | Nalle_ | It shows some errors like this tho : |
| 07:44.55 | Nalle_ | -> private chat |
| 07:44.58 | Nalle_ | So it looks like trying to do something causes the USB to reset and then disconnect |
| 07:45.01 | Nalle_ | with some error code and I/O error bitching. Then it reconnects and sees the drive again and attaches it |
| 07:51.06 | pahartik | Nalle_: See if that storage device works when you attach it directly to SATA cable |
| 07:51.58 | Nalle_ | Well, it is an old G4 MDD Mac. It doesn't have SATA. Dunno what kind of drive it is inside the USB enclosure. Will have to check |
| 07:53.49 | Nalle_ | I guess I could also try connecting that to some other machine.. |
| 07:54.01 | Nalle_ | Maybe the minilappie I have which has Ubuntu on it since I doubt Mac OS X has JFS support |
| 07:56.15 | pahartik | Nalle_: JFS support would not matter, MacOS X has "dd" |
| 07:56.24 | Nalle_ | True |
| 07:56.41 | Nalle_ | I guess I could try |
| 07:56.46 | Nalle_ | When I get home from work |

| 08:42.11 | Nalle_ | paha: you do not suppose it could be a driver problem though? |
| 08:42.48 | Nalle_ | paha: I think there might be a new kernel version updated which got taken into use after the reboot of the machine since I had to turn it off to move the server to another location in the workroom.. |
| 08:43.10 | Nalle_ | I mean, USB card driver problem |
| 08:43.13 | Nalle_ | OR something |
| 08:44.25 | Nalle_ | It also bothers me that that 'diskdrive /dev/sda1' command claims the drive to tbe NTFS drive where as I know for a fact that it is not |
| 08:51.09 | Nalle_ | 'disktype' even |

| 19:19.31 | Nalle_ | re |
| 19:19.52 | Nalle_ | Well, looks like I found the culprit. It is the USB card. I moved the drive from the card's USB port to the motherboard's USB port and mount worked right up |
