Server Crash

[Jinnah]

Hi,

Could anyone expand on this error message from a linux server and what could be the cause of it;

Etho; Card reports no resources

http://www kernel

: etho: card reports no resources

I had to reboot the server which caused data to be lost from /home and another directory that contained a flatfile database, is there anyway I can recover that?
Thanx.

Jin

Hi,

There have been a lot of reports of problems of this nature with cards using the intel 82557/82558/82559 chipsets and the eepro100 driver. Assuming the system hasn't frozen completely a short term fix would be :

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
/sbin/rmmod eepro100
/sbin/insmod eepro100
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start

You could try the alternative e100 driver -->

or a newer version of eepro100 -->

.

If its not the above - what card is that ?

Is there anyway I can recover the data?

Hi,

That all depends on whats happened within the filesystem. Try the following for help on recovering deleted ext2 files :

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html

There is also a ext2 undelete utility on sourceforge you might like to try (haven't tried it myself) -->

.
