Hi All,
Recently whenvevr I try to access one file, I saw the following kernel log:
"EXT4-fs error (device md0): ext4_ext_find_extent:400: inode #95223833: comm
fio: bad header/extent: invalid magic - magic e2b6, entries 59156, max
58100(0), depth 43399(0)"
inode 95223833 is just the file I want to read. I guess there may be some
corruption in the file system. Therefore I umount it and run e2fsck command
but get the following result:
"ext2fs_check_desc: Corrupt group descriptor: bad block for block bitmap
./e2fsck: Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
Corruption found in superblock. (reserved_gdt_blocks = 16384).
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>"
It seems that the superblock is bad, however I can still mount it and access
to other files without error. The kernel version is 3.4.23. Is there anything
I can do to recover the file? Any help is very appreciated. Thank a lot.
Kevin
Hello,
I don't work with ext4 for a while, but maybe I can give a few suggestions.
first of all, I'd suggest you to run `e2fsck -fnv` and attach the whole output
of the command to the e-mail (pastebins are preferred though).
Giving the description, I'd say that you might be trying to run e2fsck in a
different volume/device that you're actually mounting, but well, that's too soon
to say.
have you tried to actually run e2fsck specifying a backup superblock?
cheers

Hi Carlos,
Thank you for the reply. Today I try to run e2fsck again. This time I'm sure
I run it in correct volume. I also try to use different backup suprtblock.
The results are as below:
e2fsck -fnv /dev/md0
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
ext2fs_check_desc: Corrupt group descriptor: bad block for block bitmap
e2fsck: Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
Corruption found in superblock. (reserved_gdt_blocks = 16384).
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
e2fsck -fnv -b 8193 /dev/md0
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/md0
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
e2fsck -fnv -b 32768 /dev/md0
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
Corruption found in superblock. (reserved_gdt_blocks = 16384).
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
It all complains about superblock corrupted. I then use dumpe2fs to check the
superblock and get the following:
dumpe2fs -h /dev/md0
dumpe2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)

I can not see anything wrong (except the error count that was what I already

this.
