Clean the filesystem up?

1

Hello guys,

I have a problem … my Haiku Alpha 2 installation is very instable at the time. When I run checkfs I run into KDL (same from live CD), and if I run chkbfs on my BeOS installation I get some information about filesystem corruptions, but I’m unable to correct it.

Here is my Terminal output on BeOS:

$ chkbfs /Haiku
bfs: /dev/disk/ide/ata/0/master/0/0_1 is read-only!
Files processed:  15900
/home/config/settings/Media/multi_audio_settings: direct brun 2752423 (len 1) has blocks already set
Files processed:  16400
/home/config/settings/Tracker/TrackerSettings: direct brun 2752422 (len 1) has blocks already set

/home/config/settings/Tracker/tracker_shelf: direct brun 2752421 (len 1) has blocks already set
Files processed:  21702
BFS does not have 49 blocks allocated that should be!!!!
BFS has 14 blocks allocated that should not be.

    Block allocation mismatches detected.  Fixing.

    File system check completed.

I don’t understand why it is read-only, because I can create files on it.

Thanks for your help. If you need some additional information I will post it :slight_smile:

You should really run checkfs on Haiku partitions. I do not believe chkbfs works properly on Haiku partitions.

checkfs would crash for me too on Alpha 2 but that was because there was a ticket concerning having lots of files & folders on the partition (over 400,000). This was fixed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you have fallen victim to the same type of file system corruption as humdinger in this thread:
