My server crashed a few days a go and it did not accept the root password i did single mode and reset password and then i could loging as root but network did not worked. now when ever i run an application i am receiving ls -la /var/lib/ Segmentation fault. Add/remove software is not working and give me "Unable to tetrieve softwrare information" MySQL server is not working and i am receiving this error. when i try to restart mysql i am receiving this error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) any help apprecaited.
Seems as if there's something wrong with /var/lib/. What are the outputs of Code: mount and Code: df -h ? What's in /etc/fstab?
Hi Falko, here is the output for mount: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) and the output for df -h: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 71G 8.3G 59G 13% / /dev/sda1 99M 28M 66M 30% /boot tmpfs the fstab has these lines: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cle vfat noauto,users,noexec,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 By the way our websites are down too. Thanks
I think you should run a filesystem check on / with fsck.ext3. You probably have to boot into a rescue system to do so.
Hi Falko, would you please explain a bit more what command should i run? and how can i boot into a rescue system? Thanks
