+this section gives a brief overview. +.NH 2 +Superblock +.PP +A file system is described by its +.I "super-block" . +The super-block is built when the file system is created (\c +.I newfs (8)) +and never changes. +The super-block +contains the basic parameters of the file system, +such as the number of data blocks it contains +and a count of the maximum number of files. +Because the super-block contains critical data, +.I newfs +replicates it to protect against catastrophic loss. +The +.I "default super block" +always resides at a fixed offset from the beginning +of the file system's disk partition. +The +.I "redundant super blocks" +are not referenced unless a head crash +or other hard disk error causes the default super-block +to be unusable. +The redundant blocks are sprinkled throughout the disk partition. +.PP +Within the file system are files. +Certain files are distinguished as directories and contain collections +of pointers to files that may themselves be directories. +Every file has a descriptor associated with it called an +.I "inode". +The inode contains information describing ownership of the file, +time stamps indicating modification and access times for the file, +and an array of indices pointing to the data blocks for the file. +In this section, +we assume that the first 12 blocks +of the file are directly referenced by values stored +in the inode structure itself\(dg. +.FS +\(dgThe actual number may vary from system to system, but is usually in +the range 5-13. +.FE +The inode structure may also contain references to indirect blocks +containing further data block indices. +In a file system with a 4096 byte block size, a singly indirect +block contains 1024 further block addresses, +a doubly indirect block contains 1024 addresses of further single indirect +blocks, +and a triply indirect block contains 1024 addresses of further doubly indirect +blocks (the triple indirect block is never needed in practice). +.PP +In order to create files with up to +2\(ua32 bytes, +using only two levels of indirection, +the minimum size of a file system block is 4096 bytes. +The size of file system blocks can be any power of two +greater than or equal to 4096. +The block size of the file system is maintained in the super-block, +so it is possible for file systems of different block sizes +to be accessible simultaneously on the same system. +The block size must be decided when +.I newfs +creates the file system; +the block size cannot be subsequently +changed without rebuilding the file system. +.NH 2 +Summary information +.PP +Associated with the super block is non replicated +.I "summary information" . +The summary information changes +as the file system is modified. +The summary information contains +the number of blocks, fragments, inodes and directories in the file system. +.NH 2 +Cylinder groups +.PP +The file system partitions the disk into one or more areas called +.I "cylinder groups". +A cylinder group is comprised of one or more consecutive +cylinders on a disk. +Each cylinder group includes inode slots for files, a +.I "block map" +describing available blocks in the cylinder group, +and summary information describing the usage of data blocks +within the cylinder group. +A fixed number of inodes is allocated for each cylinder group +when the file system is created. +The current policy is to allocate one inode for each 2048 +bytes of disk space; +this is expected to be far more inodes than will ever be needed. +.PP +All the cylinder group bookkeeping information could be +placed at the beginning of each cylinder group. +However if this approach were used, +all the redundant information would be on the top platter. +A single hardware failure that destroyed the top platter +could cause the loss of all copies of the redundant super-blocks. +Thus the cylinder group bookkeeping information +begins at a floating offset from the beginning of the cylinder group. +The offset for +the +.I "i+1" st +cylinder group is about one track further +from the beginning of the cylinder group +than it was for the +.I "i" th +cylinder group. +In this way, +the redundant +information spirals down into the pack; +any single track, cylinder, +or platter can be lost without losing all copies of the super-blocks. +Except for the first cylinder group, +the space between the beginning of the cylinder group +and the beginning of the cylinder group information stores data. +.NH 2 +Fragments +.PP +To avoid waste in storing small files, +the file system space allocator divides a single +file system block into one or more +.I "fragments". +The fragmentation of the file system is specified +when the file system is created; +each file system block can be optionally broken into +2, 4, or 8 addressable fragments. +The lower bound on the size of these fragments is constrained +by the disk sector size; +typically 512 bytes is the lower bound on fragment size. +The block map associated with each cylinder group +records the space availability at the fragment level. +Aligned fragments are examined +to determine block availability. +.PP +On a file system with a block size of 4096 bytes +and a fragment size of 1024 bytes, +a file is represented by zero or more 4096 byte blocks of data, +and possibly a single fragmented block. +If a file system block must be fragmented to obtain +space for a small amount of data, +the remainder of the block is made available for allocation +to other files. +For example, +consider an 11000 byte file stored on +a 4096/1024 byte file system. +This file uses two full size blocks and a 3072 byte fragment. +If no fragments with at least 3072 bytes +are available when the file is created, +a full size block is split yielding the necessary 3072 byte +fragment and an unused 1024 byte fragment. +This remaining fragment can be allocated to another file, as needed. +.NH 2 +Updates to the file system +.PP +Every working day hundreds of files +are created, modified, and removed. +Every time a file is modified, +the operating system performs a +series of file system updates. +These updates, when written on disk, yield a consistent file system. +The file system stages +all modifications of critical information; +modification can +either be completed or cleanly backed out after a crash. +Knowing the information that is first written to the file system, +deterministic procedures can be developed to +repair a corrupted file system. +To understand this process, +the order that the update +requests were being honored must first be understood. +.PP +When a user program does an operation to change the file system, +such as a +.I write , +the data to be written is copied into an internal +.I "in-core" +buffer in the kernel. +Normally, the disk update is handled asynchronously; +the user process is allowed to proceed even though +the data has not yet been written to the disk. +The data, +along with the inode information reflecting the change, +is eventually written out to disk. +The real disk write may not happen until long after the +.I write +system call has returned. +Thus at any given time, the file system, +as it resides on the disk, +lags the state of the file system represented by the in-core information. +.PP +The disk information is updated to reflect the in-core information +when the buffer is required for another use, +when a +.I sync (2) +is done (at 30 second intervals) by +.I "/etc/update" "(8)," +or by manual operator intervention with the +.I sync (8) +command. +If the system is halted without writing out the in-core information, +the file system on the disk will be in an inconsistent state. +.PP +If all updates are done asynchronously, several serious +inconsistencies can arise. +One inconsistency is that a block may be claimed by two inodes. +Such an inconsistency can occur when the system is halted before +the pointer to the block in the old inode has been cleared +in the copy of the old inode on the disk, +and after the pointer to the block in the new inode has been written out +to the copy of the new inode on the disk. +Here, +there is no deterministic method for deciding +which inode should really claim the block. +A similar problem can arise with a multiply claimed inode. +.PP +The problem with asynchronous inode updates +can be avoided by doing all inode deallocations synchronously. +Consequently, +inodes and indirect blocks are written to the disk synchronously +(\fIi.e.\fP the process blocks until the information is +really written to disk) +when they are being deallocated. +Similarly inodes are kept consistent by synchronously +deleting, adding, or changing directory entries. +.ds RH Fixing corrupted file systems diff --git a/sbin/fsck/SMM.doc/3.t b/sbin/fsck/SMM.doc/3.t new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..bb6f05b8c038 --- /dev/null +++ b/sbin/fsck/SMM.doc/3.t @@ -0,0 +1,452 @@ +.\" Copyright (c) 1982, 1993 +.\" The Regents of the University of California.

RH Fixing corrupted file systems +.NH +Fixing corrupted file systems +.PP +A file system +can become corrupted in several ways. +The most common of these ways are +improper shutdown procedures +and hardware failures. +.PP +File systems may become corrupted during an +.I "unclean halt" . +This happens when proper shutdown +procedures are not observed, +physically write-protecting a mounted file system, +or a mounted file system is taken off-line. +The most common operator procedural failure is forgetting to +.I sync +the system before halting the CPU. +.PP +File systems may become further corrupted if proper startup +procedures are not observed, e.g., +not checking a file system for inconsistencies, +and not repairing inconsistencies. +Allowing a corrupted file system to be used (and, thus, to be modified +further) can be disastrous. +.PP +Any piece of hardware can fail at any time. +Failures +can be as subtle as a bad block +on a disk pack, or as blatant as a non-functional disk-controller. +.NH 2 +Detecting and correcting corruption +.PP +Normally +.I fsck +is run non-interactively. +In this mode it will only fix +corruptions that are expected to occur from an unclean halt. +These actions are a proper subset of the actions that +.I fsck +will take when it is running interactively. +Throughout this paper we assume that +.I fsck +is being run interactively, +and all possible errors can be encountered. +When an inconsistency is discovered in this mode, +.I fsck +reports the inconsistency for the operator to +chose a corrective action. +.PP +A quiescent\(dd +.FS +\(dd I.e., unmounted and not being written on. +.FE +file system may be checked for structural integrity +by performing consistency checks on the +redundant data intrinsic to a file system. +The redundant data is either read from +the file system, +or computed from other known values. +The file system +.B must +be in a quiescent state when +.I fsck +is run, +since +.I fsck +is a multi-pass program. +.PP +In the following sections, +we discuss methods to discover inconsistencies +and possible corrective actions +for the cylinder group blocks, the inodes, the indirect blocks, and +the data blocks containing directory entries. +.NH 2 +Super-block checking +.PP +The most commonly corrupted item in a file system +is the summary information +associated with the super-block. +The summary information is prone to corruption +because it is modified with every change to the file +system's blocks or inodes, +and is usually corrupted +after an unclean halt. +.PP +The super-block is checked for inconsistencies +involving file-system size, number of inodes, +free-block count, and the free-inode count. +The file-system size must be larger than the +number of blocks used by the super-block +and the number of blocks used by the list of inodes. +The file-system size and layout information +are the most critical pieces of information for +.I fsck . +While there is no way to actually check these sizes, +since they are statically determined by +.I newfs , +.I fsck +can check that these sizes are within reasonable bounds. +All other file system checks require that these sizes be correct. +If +.I fsck +detects corruption in the static parameters of the default super-block, +.I fsck +requests the operator to specify the location of an alternate super-block. +.NH 2 +Free block checking +.PP +.I Fsck +checks that all the blocks +marked as free in the cylinder group block maps +are not claimed by any files. +When all the blocks have been initially accounted for, +.I fsck +checks that +the number of free blocks +plus the number of blocks claimed by the inodes +equals the total number of blocks in the file system. +.PP +If anything is wrong with the block allocation maps, +.I fsck +will rebuild them, +based on the list it has computed of allocated blocks. +.PP +The summary information associated with the super-block +counts the total number of free blocks within the file system. +.I Fsck +compares this count to the +number of free blocks it found within the file system. +If the two counts do not agree, then +.I fsck +replaces the incorrect count in the summary information +by the actual free-block count. +.PP +The summary information +counts the total number of free inodes within the file system. +.I Fsck +compares this count to the number +of free inodes it found within the file system. +If the two counts do not agree, then +.I fsck +replaces the incorrect count in the +summary information by the actual free-inode count. +.NH 2 +Checking the inode state +.PP +An individual inode is not as likely to be corrupted as +the allocation information. +However, because of the great number of active inodes, +a few of the inodes are usually corrupted. +.PP +The list of inodes in the file system +is checked sequentially starting with inode 2 +(inode 0 marks unused inodes; +inode 1 is saved for future generations) +and progressing through the last inode in the file system. +The state of each inode is checked for +inconsistencies involving format and type, +link count, +duplicate blocks, +bad blocks, +and inode size. +.PP +Each inode contains a mode word. +This mode word describes the type and state of the inode. +Inodes must be one of six types: +regular inode, directory inode, symbolic link inode, +special block inode, special character inode, or socket inode. +Inodes may be found in one of three allocation states: +unallocated, allocated, and neither unallocated nor allocated. +This last state suggests an incorrectly formated inode. +An inode can get in this state if +bad data is written into the inode list. +The only possible corrective action is for +.I fsck +is to clear the inode. +.NH 2 +Inode links +.PP +Each inode counts the +total number of directory entries +linked to the inode. +.I Fsck +verifies the link count of each inode +by starting at the root of the file system, +and descending through the directory structure. +The actual link count for each inode +is calculated during the descent. +.PP +If the stored link count is non-zero and the actual +link count is zero, +then no directory entry appears for the inode. +If this happens, +.I fsck +will place the disconnected file in the +.I lost+found +directory. +If the stored and actual link counts are non-zero and unequal, +a directory entry may have been added or removed without the inode being +updated. +If this happens, +.I fsck +replaces the incorrect stored link count by the actual link count. +.PP +Each inode contains a list, +or pointers to +lists (indirect blocks), +of all the blocks claimed by the inode. +Since indirect blocks are owned by an inode, +inconsistencies in indirect blocks directly +affect the inode that owns it. +.PP +.I Fsck +compares each block number claimed by an inode +against a list of already allocated blocks. +If another inode already claims a block number, +then the block number is added to a list of +.I "duplicate blocks" . +Otherwise, the list of allocated blocks +is updated to include the block number. +.PP +If there are any duplicate blocks, +.I fsck +will perform a partial second +pass over the inode list +to find the inode of the duplicated block. +The second pass is needed, +since without examining the files associated with +these inodes for correct content, +not enough information is available +to determine which inode is corrupted and should be cleared. +If this condition does arise +(only hardware failure will cause it), +then the inode with the earliest +modify time is usually incorrect, +and should be cleared. +If this happens, +.I fsck +prompts the operator to clear both inodes. +The operator must decide which one should be kept +and which one should be cleared. +.PP +.I Fsck +checks the range of each block number claimed by an inode. +If the block number is +lower than the first data block in the file system, +or greater than the last data block, +then the block number is a +.I "bad block number" . +Many bad blocks in an inode are usually caused by +an indirect block that was not written to the file system, +a condition which can only occur if there has been a hardware failure. +If an inode contains bad block numbers, +.I fsck +prompts the operator to clear it. +.NH 2 +Inode data size +.PP +Each inode contains a count of the number of data blocks +that it contains. +The number of actual data blocks +is the sum of the allocated data blocks +and the indirect blocks. +.I Fsck +computes the actual number of data blocks +and compares that block count against +the actual number of blocks the inode claims. +If an inode contains an incorrect count +.I fsck +prompts the operator to fix it. +.PP +Each inode contains a thirty-two bit size field. +The size is the number of data bytes +in the file associated with the inode. +The consistency of the byte size field is roughly checked +by computing from the size field the maximum number of blocks +that should be associated with the inode, +and comparing that expected block count against +the actual number of blocks the inode claims. +.NH 2 +Checking the data associated with an inode +.PP +An inode can directly or indirectly +reference three kinds of data blocks. +All referenced blocks must be the same kind. +The three types of data blocks are: +plain data blocks, symbolic link data blocks, and directory data blocks. +Plain data blocks +contain the information stored in a file; +symbolic link data blocks +contain the path name stored in a link. +Directory data blocks contain directory entries. +.I Fsck +can only check the validity of directory data blocks. +.PP +Each directory data block is checked for +several types of inconsistencies. +These inconsistencies include +directory inode numbers pointing to unallocated inodes, +directory inode numbers that are greater than +the number of inodes in the file system, +incorrect directory inode numbers for ``\fB.\fP'' and ``\fB..\fP'', +and directories that are not attached to the file system. +If the inode number in a directory data block +references an unallocated inode, +then +.I fsck +will remove that directory entry. +Again, +this condition can only arise when there has been a hardware failure. +.PP +.I Fsck +also checks for directories with unallocated blocks (holes). +Such directories should never be created. +When found, +.I fsck +will prompt the user to adjust the length of the offending directory +which is done by shortening the size of the directory to the end of the +last allocated block preceeding the hole. +Unfortunately, this means that another Phase 1 run has to be done. +.I Fsck +will remind the user to rerun fsck after repairing a +directory containing an unallocated block. +.PP +If a directory entry inode number references +outside the inode list, then +.I fsck +will remove that directory entry. +This condition occurs if bad data is written into a directory data block. +.PP +The directory inode number entry for ``\fB.\fP'' +must be the first entry in the directory data block. +The inode number for ``\fB.\fP'' +must reference itself; +e.g., it must equal the inode number +for the directory data block. +The directory inode number entry +for ``\fB..\fP'' must be +the second entry in the directory data block. +Its value must equal the inode number for the +parent of the directory entry +(or the inode number of the directory +data block if the directory is the +root directory). +If the directory inode numbers are +incorrect, +.I fsck +will replace them with the correct values. +If there are multiple hard links to a directory, +the first one encountered is considered the real parent +to which ``\fB..\fP'' should point; +\fIfsck\fP recommends deletion for the subsequently discovered names. +.NH 2 +File system connectivity +.PP +.I Fsck +checks the general connectivity of the file system. +If directories are not linked into the file system, then +.I fsck +links the directory back into the file system in the +.I lost+found +directory. +This condition only occurs when there has been a hardware failure. +.ds RH "References"

RH Appendix A \- Fsck Error Conditions +.NH +Appendix A \- Fsck Error Conditions +.NH 2 +Conventions +.PP +.I Fsck +is +a multi-pass file system check program. +Each file system pass invokes a different Phase of the +.I fsck +program. +After the initial setup, +.I fsck +performs successive Phases over each file system, +checking blocks and sizes, +path-names, +connectivity, +reference counts, +and the map of free blocks, +(possibly rebuilding it), +and performs some cleanup. +.LP +Normally +.I fsck +is run non-interactively to +.I preen +the file systems after an unclean halt. +While preen'ing a file system, +it will only fix corruptions that are expected +to occur from an unclean halt. +These actions are a proper subset of the actions that +.I fsck +will take when it is running interactively. +Throughout this appendix many errors have several options +that the operator can take. +When an inconsistency is detected, +.I fsck +reports the error condition to the operator. +If a response is required, +.I fsck +prints a prompt message and +waits for a response. +When preen'ing most errors are fatal. +For those that are expected, +the response taken is noted. +This appendix explains the meaning of each error condition, +the possible responses, and the related error conditions. +.LP +The error conditions are organized by the +.I Phase +of the +.I fsck +program in which they can occur. +The error conditions that may occur +in more than one Phase +will be discussed in initialization. +.NH 2 +Initialization +.PP +Before a file system check can be performed, certain +tables have to be set up and certain files opened. +This section concerns itself with the opening of files and +the initialization of tables. +This section lists error conditions resulting from +command line options, +memory requests, +opening of files, +status of files, +file system size checks, +and creation of the scratch file. +All the initialization errors are fatal +when the file system is being preen'ed. +.sp +.LP +.B "\fIC\fP option?" +.br +\fIC\fP is not a legal option to +.I fsck ; +legal options are \-b, \-c, \-y, \-n, and \-p. +.I Fsck +terminates on this error
