Title: dmesg messages
Post by: chacs on December 16, 2003, 03:19:53 pm

Hi,

Can anyone shed some light on these console messages (Cxxx):

\"cramfs: wrong magic\"

\"FAT: bogus logical sector size 480\"

\"Inode #8454 was a directory with children - removing those too...\"
(a couple of the above)

\"/sbin/ldconfig: File /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libopiemm2.so.1.8.1 is too small, not checked.\"

Thanx.

-cs

I am having a lot of the same messages (except for the ldconfig error) when I boot my 5600 running OZ 3.3.6-pre1.  It sounds like filesystem corruption and I am worried about my data.

None of those messages are a problem. Someone else asked the same question a few weeks ago, so search the forums for dmesg for more.

Thank you, tumnus.  I think this is the message you were referring to:

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...highlight=dmesg (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2136&highlight=dmesg)

It does mention \"cramfs: wrong magic\" and \"FAT: bogus logical sector size\", and it makes sense that these messages are just due to the OZ trying different filesystem until it finds a match, and are therefore nothing to worry about.  But the above message does not mention anything about deleting inodes, which seems more serious.  Why would OZ remove seemingly random inodes like that upon boot if it isn\'t a result of filesystem corruption?

Thanks for your help!

There are differing levels for filesystem corruption. The most common is when there is a forced reset and a few stray inodes are left hanging around. Unless you find that files/directories are going missing or files contents are getting corrupted then there is nothing to worry about.
