I would reboot this machine into a recovery disk of some kind and run a file system check, and also check for SMART messages or other indications of drive failure. Also turn OFF any backup systems that are not incremental because you may have seriously corrupt data already and you don't want to backup bad stuff over good. | |

| Jul 6, 2011 at 12:48 | comment | added | Jas | @alex - the error says : -bash: /bin/dmesg: Input/output error | |

Invoking dmesg failed? That's really weird. What's the error message?

| Jul 6, 2011 at 12:26 | comment | added | Jas | Hi Caleb... Neither me, nor my cat hit the alt+sysreq+u. Nor did I initiate the shutdown and aborting it. Like I said, I pretty much did nothing on the server for the past month (just occasionally stopping and starting a web service thru Apache Tomcat manager). Also, invoking dmesg failed. Can you tell me why is remounting the filesystem to r-w not recommended at this stage? | |
