Hi all,

Last night my UPS in the server room failed. After switching it to bypass mode to get everyone back up and running I brought all my servers back up but was unable to connect to my SNAP server via NFS. I tried from Windows and was able to connect to it but neither of my shares were available. Explains why trying to mount the share failed.

I logged into the SNAP via the web configuration and found both of my shares had a red X over them saying they were unavailable due to disk errors. I ran the Disk repair utility and it got to 5% and since it was late I left with it running. I logged in and checked it again this morning and it is still at 5%. I checked the disk logs and it appears it is hitting a bad block and just trying the same block over and over and over. It's been trying the same block all night! Here is an excerpt from the log:

File System Check : Cannot Read: Blk 29950272 Disk 10000 4/18/2007 10:01:13 AM
E File System Check : Cannot Read: Blk 29950272 Disk 10000 4/18/2007 10:01:09 AM

E File System Check : Cannot Read: Blk 29950272 Disk 10000 4/18/2007 10:00:39 AM

Right now I can't really do much with the SNAP. It won't allow me to restart it due to the disk check in progress. It won't let me start a new check either.

Any one else run into this problem? Are there any debug commands which will allow you to abort a fsck?

There is some data on here I really need to get since it was down during the backup last night. I think after this I am done with SNAP servers. This is our 3rd one that has failed in 6 yrs. They only seem to last about 2yrs. I love the fact you can turn them on and talk to anything but the speed and reliability leaves too much to be desired.
