file system is going into read only mode frequently
My server file system is going into read only mode frequently. If I reboot my system, It is performing a fsck
operation on disks. But, It is exited with exit status 4 ( File system errors left uncorrected)
and it is asking to perform fsck
manually. When I performing a manual fsck
, It is clearing orphaned inodes and doing file systems modification. Then, It is working fine for 1 or 2 days only. Again the same problem is coming.
How to give permanent solution to fix this issue?
Or should I change my hard disk?
In the dmesg
output, I could see some of the repeated errors. Is this the reason of this read only filesystem error.
For your reference here is dmesg
output.
