Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dav1dblunk3tt@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.18) Gecko/20110613 SUSE/3.6.18-0.2.1 Firefox/3.6.18 This morning my suse 11.3 box locked up (firefox locked, the WM and mouse worked ok but couldn't start any processes, I switch to text console but got "INIT cannot execute mingetty" on login and "INIT cannot execute shutdown" on alt-cntl-del). I performed a hard reset. On reboot the disks were checked with "filesystems have not been checked for >60 days" and reboot appeared to proceed as normal. However, the filesystems (ext4 / and ext3 /home) have both been wound back 64 days leading to major data loss. I am at a loss to diagnose since /var/log/messages ends on 4/7/11 and restarts today on 7/9/11. Every single file since shutdown in July and the 2nd reboot today is missing. I have backups for critical data files but recovering the filesystems is a much more attractive idea if possible. I realise this may not be the most appropriate place for this bug report but I have to start somewhere... Urgent help on fixing the filesystems and diagnosing the problem appreciated! In the meantime I'll quarantine this machine and start on another.
