/dev/sdc should be checked for errors

  • 772

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? I tried looking online but for some reason not a lot is coming up, as if it's a big secret or something.

Every time I connect to it I see "/dev/sdc should be checked for errors" and below that (not sure if this is related) it says ***** System restart required *****

I did not set this server up but what I do know is /dev/sdc is an iSCSI connection to a RAID volume on a Promise VessRAID 1840i.

Are there ways to test the volume w/out unmounting the filesystem or effecting user's access to the data on it? If so please explain what needs to be done.

Thanks!

fsck

  1. You'll need to unmount the drive to check the file system for errors. You can't do it while the filesystem is live.

    • Ensure FSCKFIX=yes is present in /etc/default/rcS (it's no by default).
    • Run touch /forcefsck, and reboot the system.
    • Revert your changes to rcS once fsck is complete.
