Hello

our server is crashed and now some files are missing.
when I do ls, I can see the file but when I do ls -la, file does not
show up.


I am going to do fsck, but was wondering if there is any other quick fix
rather

than umount and do fsck.

Thanks

Fsck is a necessary evil here, but after fsck you will still
need to do a restore to recover any missing or damaged files.

*Is there anyway to automate the following (all from one script):

**** Boot to single-user mode (or whatever is required)
**** run fsck
**** reboot back to level 5 (or 3)

so that you can kick it off, go away,
come back an hour or so later and it'll
all be done (via IP)?

Tony,

No script required:

# shutdown -Fr now

However, I'm the kinda person what would hang around for that particular
hour!, I'd then shag off after that

How about "touch /forcefsck"?
It will force fsck to run on next reboot

It depends if the partition you aare running fsck on is mounted in
single user mode. You can't run fsck on a mounted disk.

You can stuff "-y" into /etc/fsckoptions or create
/etc/sysconfig/autofsck and add

AUTOFSCK_OPT="-y"

to it.

I don't think so since forcefsck is not a command just a file that has
to exist,
