Read Only File System on Application - VDS - .boot Device

Usually reported on <application name>.boot

  1. Stop the failed application
  2. Mount the volume as a md device: 3tctl mount sv dev-tuxedomedia.class.VDS64_CENTOS50.boot
    mount_id = /dev/md1
    APPLOGIC RESTRICTED AREA
    

    (customer shouldn't use 3tctl, they would need to attach it to an appliance and run a fsck from it instead)

  3. Run a manual fsck on the device: fsck -y -f /dev/md1 -C 0
    -y = answer yes to all questions, -f = force check even if marked clean, -C 0 (zero) = provides progress indicator
    

    This process found many journal inode issues and fixed them. Run it multiple times until no further errors are reported.

  4. Unmount the volume from the md device: 3tctl unmount sv dev-tuxedomedia.class.VDS64_CENTOS50.boot
  5. Start the application: 3t app start dev-tuxedomedia
