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 device sda2 in start transaction journal has aborted 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!

you have to remove and then re-enable a corrupt or aborted ext3 filesystem. Try this for single user, read-only mode. 1. tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/*** <------ strips the journal 2. fsck the partition 3. tune2fs -j /dev/*** <----- adds back the journal Once this is done, remount the filesystem as read-write (mount -o remount,rw /) and create a test file (touch test.txt) to see if the filesystem is indeed writeable. If this doesn't work then a trickier option is also available to you. 1. debugfs -w -R "feature ^has_journal, ^needs_recovery" /dev/*** 2. fsck the partition e2fsck -y /dev/*** 3. tune2fs -j /dev/*** If that doesn't work the drive is probably hosed. -------- tune2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda5 Can't find valid filesystem superblock. hardware error! -------- Indications e100: eth1: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex journal_bmap_R3246d747: journal block not found at offset 1036 on ide0(3,2) Aborting journal on device ide0(3,2). ext3_abort called.
