SCP stopped working

[zhenning]

Today I just found SCP stopped working on my Linux box suddenly:

# scp
scp: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Input/output error

Also I got following error:

# man scp
groff: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: Input/output error

Please help! Thanks!!!

I'd do an fsck of your filesystems, an I/O error on opening files does not sound too good... :-(

Also when I reboot the server, I got following message:

Booting 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS(2.4.21-4.EL)'

root (hd0,0)
File system type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Kernel /vmlinu2-2.4.21-4.EL ro root=LABEL=1
[Linux - bzImage, setup = 0x1400, size=0x12c9d1]

Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem Structure

Press any key to continue

I do not what is wrong? I did not change any thing recently. Thanks!

Can I run fsck in this stage?

 

[p5wizard]

Well you can, but imho it won't help you. The message you got is the output from fsck which is run at boot time. Someone or some process has corrupted a file system. Or your disk has crashed...

I have restored the server from netbackup. But I found the vsftpd does not work after the restore:

[root@kojak tracking]# /sbin/service vsftpd status
vsftpd dead but subsys locked

And I have the following messages in /var/log/messages:
Oct 25 10:42:13 kojak xinetd[12430]: readjusting service tftp
Oct 25 10:42:13 kojak xinetd[12430]: readjusting service vnetd

Oct 25 10:42:13 kojak xinetd[12430]: Reconfigured: new=0 old=7 dropped=0 (services)

Any suggestions? Thanks!

bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = ftp

Do tftp and ftp listen on the same port?
Are those servers, because they're not named ftpd, tftpd, but called services?

Check for a file named /var/lock/subsys/vsftpd, if it exists, try removing it and then doing

/etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd restart

(could be different location for lock file and restart command depending on distro of course)
