REPAIR: Zimbra wont start

[emcampos]

Fellows;


This is the error that whenever I try to get the "zmcontrol status" command. Im not a Linux expert, by the way.

Please help me how I can fix this problem.

Thanks.


Here is the error:

The server has been fully restarted several times already but it didnt improve.

Fellows, what could be the problem?

Seems like your filesystem where Zimbra is located is read only. Is /opt an own filesystem? What does cat /etc/fstab give you? You can try remount the filesystem with write permission. IF this does not work, please provide us with the information from this:

su zimbra
zmcontrol -v

Sorry, fellows but Im really new to Linux.

Could you please help me how I can remount this?

I hope you have a good backup.

The error is caused by this:

You've quite likely had some problem with either your HD or the filesystem: Zimbra problem

[emcampos]

ive tried this;

zimbra@zimbra:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

is it safe? how much is the risk of getting the /opt corrupted or messed up if i run sudo e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda1?

what's the better alternative?

[veronica]

Do you have any SAN mounted disks ? If yes check those.

[veronica]

just running e2fsck e2fsck -v /dev/sda1 should also be fine
