<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV>I'm runnig WB3.0 Respin 3 on a DELL 1850 PE machine.</DIV>
<DIV>I have a single website that was running fine till few days ago.</DIV>
<DIV>I'm getting high CPU loads randomly and I can't figure out what is the
cause.</DIV>
<DIV>I didn't detect any attacks from outside of the server, so this is of
course confusing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I decided to look into the File system as a possible problem area.</DIV>
<DIV>I tried to run fsck and got the following:<BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>/ # fsck<BR>fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)<BR>e2fsck 1.32
(09-Nov-2002)<BR>/dev/sda2 is mounted. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may
cause<BR>SEVERE filesystem damage.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Group descriptors look bad... trying backup
blocks...<BR>fsck.ext3: Invalid argument while checking ext3 journal for
/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>/ # </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>After running this and getting the error above,. I can't go
anywhere:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>See the following lines that came right after I ran the
fsck:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><BR>/ # mount<BR>-bash: mount: command not found</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/ # su -<BR>su: error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/ # whoami<BR>-bash: whoami: command not found</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/ # uptime<BR>-bash: /usr/bin/uptime: No such file or directory</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/ # cd</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/root # whoami<BR>-bash: whoami: command not found</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now that can't be good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any suggestions? pointers? </DIV>
<DIV>I have a live production server running,.. but I'm scared if something will
happen to it.</DIV>
<DIV>I can format a new server and transfer all the data over, but do I need do
this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts about this will be appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-Alon.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
