IV – How To Fix and Mount Volume?

.

I – What is Unmounted Status and How Cna We Fix This

1 – Volume has Unmounted status, What to do:

  • Check if any filesystem superblock is found:

    • # dumpe2fs_64 -h /dev/md0

  • If superblock is found, try to check filesystem for errors

    • # e2fsck_64 -fp /dev/md0

    • May need to increase swap memory first

  • If no superblock found:

    • It could be the volume removed accidentally by user

    • Or, the RAID re-created incorrectly with mdadm -CfR –assume-clean command

.

2 – How to increase swap space

Example: NAS has 8 bays and HDD /dev/sda ~ /dev/sdh

# swapoff /dev/md8

# mdadm -S /dev/md8

# for i in {a..h}; do mkswap /dev/sd${i}2; swapon /dev/sd${i}2; done

 .

3 – What to do if no superblock:

  • You can also try to use the backup superblock

[~] # dumpe2fs /dev/md0 | grep superblock -i

dumpe2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)

 Primary superblock at 0, Group descriptors at 1-44

 Backup superblock at 32768, Group descriptors at 32769-32812

 Backup superblock at 98304, Group descriptors at 98305-98348

 Backup superblock at 163840, Group descriptors at 163841-163884

 ….

  • Check if backup superblock is existing:

[~] # dumpe2fs -h -o superblock=32768 /dev/md0

  • Repair filesystem using backup superblock

[~] # e2fsck -f -b 32768 /dev/md0

 .

II – Error Allocating Block Bitmap (4) : Memory Allocation Failed. e2fsck Aborted; How To Increase Swap Memory To Start e2fsck Command

You can unmount volume manually, and start check process;

For Old Firmware (3.8.0 – 4.0.5)

/etc/init.d/services.sh stop
/etc/init.d/opentftp.sh stop
/etc/init.d/Qthttpd.sh stop
umount /dev/md0
e2fsck -f -v -C 0 /dev/md0
mount /dev/md0
reboot

http://dev.mensfeld.pl/2013/08/qnap-nas-file-system-not-clean-examination-failed-cannot-unmount-disk/

.
For New Firmware (4.1.0 and later) (64 Bit)
/etc/init.d/services.sh stop
/etc/init.d/opentftp.sh stop
/etc/init.d/Qthttpd.sh stop
umount /dev/mapper/cachedev1
e2fsck_64 -f -v -C 0 /dev/mapper/cachedev1
mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/cachedev1 /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA
reboot
https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=123461

.
For NewFirmware (4.1.0 and later) (32 Bit)
/etc/init.d/services.sh stop
/etc/init.d/opentftp.sh stop
/etc/init.d/Qthttpd.sh stop
/etc/init.d/rsnap.sh stop
umount /dev/mapper/cachedev1
e2fsck -f -v -C 0 /dev/mapper/cachedev1

But If you Got This Error;

Qnap swapoff memory (1)

After this command; e2fsck -fy /dev/md0

.

Solution;

Qnap mkswap commands

.

Step by Step Command Lines;

1)# swapoff /dev/md6

-> (mdX, X – bays’ amount. If you have 6 HDD, use md6, ıf you have 8 HDD, use md8)

Qnap swapoff memory (2)

2)# mdadm -S /dev/md6

-> (to stop mdadm)

Qnap swapoff memory (4)

3) # mkswap /dev/sda2

-> (and for sdb2/sdc2/sdd2 too)

But before that, please check you mkswap right part. For this, type;

md_checker

Qnap swapoff memory (3)

.

So we can start from sda2;

Qnap swapoff memory (5)

And type these;

mkswap /dev/sdb2

mkswap /dev/sdc2

mkswap /dev/sdd2

mkswap /dev/sde2

mkswap /dev/sdf2

.

Results;

Qnap swapoff memory (6)

.

4) # swapon /dev/sda2

-> (and for sdb2/sdc2/sdd2 too)

So type;

swapon /dev/sdb2

swapon /dev/sdb2

swapon /dev/sdc2

swapon /dev/sde2

swapon /dev/sdf2

Qnap swapoff memory (7)

5) # free (to check available space)

6) # Type e2fsck command again..

.

III – Problem; Device Seems Unmounted, Storage_boot_init 2 Command Doesnt Work, Ands System Cannot Be  Mounted;

1 – RAID seems ok, but System Seems Unmounted, and here is md_checker output;

unmounted md_checker

.

2 – storage_boot_init 2 output -> system cannot be mounted!

1 - config util doesnt work

.

3 - mount -t ext4 /dev/md0 /share/MD0_DATA output -> “wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock n /dev/md0″ error

2 - mount doenst work 1

.

4 - dmesg output ->  ”group descriptors corrupted” error

5 - e2fsck_64 -fp -C 0 /dev/md0 output; -> Process is killed!

3 - e2fsck_64

.

II – How To Fix and Mount Volume?

1 – I type this command;

e2fsck -f -b 32768 /dev/md0

4 - process

5 - e2fsck -f -b 32768

.

2 – Then try to mount volume manually;

mount -t ext4 /dev/md0 /share/MD0_DATA

6  - mount -t ext4

.

3 – And after rebooting system;

7 - RAID mounted
