"FSCK failed". Does anybody knows the reason?

[Pitere]

Hi all,
the first firmware I installed was the PLI and successively initialized the 1.5 Tb HDD. Then I tried Vix and VTI and, at the moment, I am using the VTI.
Now after recordings and telnetting many file into HDD, I tried the filesystem check. This operation has not been successfully completed with the warning "FSCK failed". Does anybody knows the reason? It could be that the first initialization has been done with PLI image? If is it so, there is a way to fix problem without formatting again HDD with WTI?
Thanks for help, regards

I've start your own thread for you here, so it will get more exposure

You did umount the hdd before trying to run fsck didn't you???

[Pitere]

Thank you all,
I tried with command umount/dev1/sdb1 and then with mount /dev/sdb1 /media/hdd, but same warning. After I tried only umount and then filesystem check from VTI, but without success.
I do not know if it is what you mean (I am learning Linux step by step)

You should just do a umount /dev/sdb1

Then, run the fsck command

Then, run the mount /dev/sdb1 /media/hdd to get the hdd showing again....

Can you post the exact text (including issuing the commands) that you're getting?! e.g.

root@bm750:~# e2fsck /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
/dev/sdb1 is mounted.  

WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no

check aborted.
root@bm750:~#

That's what I get when I don't umount the system...

Try with a swapfile.

hi, firstly I umounted with umount /dev/sda1, then e2fsck -p /dev/sda1 (also with e2fsck -y /dev/sda1)
telnet issue :
has been mounted 74 times without being checked, check forced
pass1 : checking inodes, blocks and sizes
killed
