immediately. To fix the situation, you can remount the partition as ext2 (if it isn't your active root partition), or you can commence the repair operations. If you're working with an active root partition, you will need to boot into some rescue media and perform these operations there. If this error occurs with an additional partition besides the root partition, ext3-fs error ext3_journal_start_sb: detected aborted journal simply unmount the broken filesystem and proceed with these operations. Remove the journal from the filesystem (effectively turning it into ext2): XHTML # tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hda3 1 # tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hda3 Now, you will need to fsck it to correct any possible problems (throw in a -y flag to say yes to all repairs, -C for a progress bar): XHTML # e2fsck /dev/hda3 1 # e2fsck /dev/hda3 Once that's finished, make a new journal which effectively makes the partition an ext3 filesystem again: XHTML # tune2fs -j /dev/hda3 1 # tune2fs -j /dev/hda3 You should be able to mount the partition as an ext3 partition at this time: XHTML # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/fixed 1 # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/fixed Be sure to check your dmesg output for any additional errors after you're finished!

EMC PowerPath is installed because my EMC detected aborted journal vendor insists on that. My problem is the volumes on HP storage often get journal error (see below) and goes into read-only mode. Is it a SAN problem or OS problem? How can I resolve this?

I've attempted to repair this from a rescue environment with tune2fs and e2fsck as prescribed in many articles I read, but the error continues to happen. UPDATE: So based on this article I added "barrier=0" to the /etc/fstab entry for this filesystem and it mounted r/w fine at the next boot. I'm lead to believe this is a paravirtualization thing, but would love it if anyone fully understands what is going on here and can explain.
