File systems not reading

[elsenthil]

Hi Guys,

I restore tape backup on my Linux server. At the time of booting the server it cannot able to read the filesystems. I am getitng the following message,

Your system appears to have shutdown uncleanly
Forcing file system integrity check due to default setting
Checking root filesystem
fsch.ext3: file system has unsupported features (S) (/)
e2fsck: Get a never version of e2fsck!
								                                                                (FAILED)

*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.

Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

Can any one please help me to solve this problem

Boot up from LiveCD of any Linux distro and execute fsck on that partition.

Welcome to the forums!

Parted Magic is a good choice for a liveCD utility disk should you want to use it.

Boot with it or the live disk of your choice, go to a terminal and run fsck.

Check the man page for fsck for instructions and examples, and a listing of the options available to you:

man fsck

I think the probllem is in creating the file system. I am using the following command for creating file systems at the time of restore.

# mke2fs -j -L /boot /dev/sda1
# mke2fs -j -L /usr /dev/sda2
# mke2fs -j -L / /dev/sdb3
# mke2fs -j -L /var /dev/sda6
# mke2fs -j -L /tmp /dev/sda7
# mke2fs -j -L /data1 /dev/sda8
# mke2fs -j -L /data2 /dev/sdb1

Can you please check this command whether it is correct or not
