[SOLVED] Re: Upgrade from 4.5.6 to 5.0.2 on RHEL4 server down

I tried mounting the drive on a different workstation (basic IDE drive with ext3fs) and it wouldnt mount, threw errors and said to check syslog.

syslog shows:

I imagine (i am decent with *nix but not senior level) that since i cant mount it, i prolly need to try running fsck on the drive and see if it can fix any bad blocks. and if that doesnt work im not sure what i can do.

Take a look here:
Hard disk failure: Additional sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed « Gerd’s Blog: Linux and my 2 Cents

or here:
SATA, fdisk mount problem - LinuxQuestions.org

For some options. If that does fail, then your pst import method will work as well.

You should also look to see if it's a bad cable.

Thanks for the info, i think im going to sleep on it for now and figure out a game plan in the morning. i'm not trippin that much as i at least have the pst backup option.

If at all possible, try to clone the dead drive before running fsck. Recover Data From a dead hard drive using dd -- Debian Admin

I once had a problem with a Compaq external array (RAID). I know it's not your exact case but my post is about RedHat's e2fsprogs tools.

RHEL's own version of e2fsck was unable to fix the problem ("Resize inode not valid"), I had to compile a newer version of e2fsprogs in order to get things fixed.

So i ended up going the fresh zimbra install on a fresh box route and just imported everyones mailbox's from the PST files i exported earlier.

Not the most elegant option but i get to go to sleep tonight instead of being at the office so i will call that a success.

I am marking this thread solved, but since it really didnt have to do with the zimbra software, if a mod deems it better to delete the thread that is fine too.
