hdc Error:Attempt to access beyond end of device

Hello ,,,

Thank u so much for ur imm reply...:)

Well i have cross compiled uclibc and made a image using bximage

bximage  -q -hd -mode=flat -size=$SIZE disk.img

then performed...below steps..

1.   losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img

2.  fdisk /dev/loop0

3. losetup -d /dev/loop0

4.  ln -sf /dev/loop0 /dev/loop

5.  losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img
losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 disk.img

mke2fs -O sparse_super -L ASHROOT -m0 -q /dev/loop1

6. mkdir -p /mnt/image
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop1 /mnt/image
cp -a build_i686/root/* /mnt/image/
tar -xz -C /mnt/image/ -f target/generic/dev.tar.gz
tar -xz -C /mnt/image/stat/ -f target/generic/dev.tar.gz
chown -Rh root:root /mnt/image
chmod 4755 /mnt/image/bin/busybox

Then initialised grub

7.  GRUB
grub> device (hd0) /dev/loop
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit

Finally....

8. umount /mnt/image

losetup -d /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop1
   
Then i copied disk.img to my 512MB compact flash card  and booted linux ... works fine ..but im ended up with
too mnay errrors...

hdc1:rw=1 wants=613670 limit=610407
hdc Error:Attempt to access beyond end of device

can u pls be more precise on doing resize for my hdc1 partition.

Thanks in advance

> can u pls be more precise on doing resize for my hdc1 partition.
resize2fs -p /dev/hdc1 # should try resize hdc1 filesystem to size of the device - that was Your error?

Hi,,

Thanks  for you rreply :)

 Well i tried the command you put by booting the machine into single user mode. But unsuccessfull.

Below is the error

#resize2fs -p /dev/hdc1

ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/hdc1 is mounted.

Please run e2fsck -f /dev/hdc1 first.

Then i performed it

#e2fsck -f /dev/hdc1
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/hdc1 is mounted.

The file system size (according to super block is ) 306904 blocks.

The physical size of teh device is ========== 305203 blocks

Either superblock or teh partition table is corrupt
Abort<y> yes

Pls suggest me ahead ...to fix it

Thanks in advance

Helo Frnds,

   Good morning :)   ... Yes you are right ....n i agree wit u :)   Still problem persists...

Here is how i am doing ..n trying to get it fixed ...

 
1. )    I had the Buildroot ready with the folowing directory hierarchy
 
  [root@eden root]# ls
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  lost+found  mnt  opt  proc  root  sbin  stat  sys  tftpboot  tmp  usr  var


2) Then next

./bximage -q -hd -mode=flat -size=300MB disk.img

losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img

fdisk /dev/loop0

losetup -d /dev/loop0

ln -sf /dev/loop0 /dev/loop

losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img
losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 disk.img


mke2fs -O sparse_super -L ASHROOT -m0 -q /dev/loop1


mkdir -p /mnt/image
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop1 /mnt/image
cp -a build_i686/root/* /mnt/image/
tar -xz -C /mnt/image/ -f target/generic/dev.tar.gz
tar -xz -C /mnt/image/stat/ -f target/generic/dev.tar.gz
chown -Rh root:root /mnt/image
chmod 4755 /mnt/image/bin/busybox

grub

grub> device (hd0) /dev/loop
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit


umount /mnt/image

losetup -d /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop1


3)   Once my disk.img is ready i used physdiskwrite v0.5.1


c:\>physdiskwrite.exe disk.img

Which writes disk.img to my 512MB Compacy flash card.

4)  Then im booting with my compact flash boots up fine ...

After a while  i get eror like ..
hdc1:rw=1 wants=613670 limit=610407
hdc Error:Attempt to access beyond end of device


5)  Then i tried

micro /root # fsck.ext2 -fv /dev/hdc1
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/dev/hdc1 is mounted.

WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes

===============================================================

After Rebooting still i get HDC1 error....when i run Fsck.ext2  again it says Filesystem Size is more than Physical disk. :(

Pls tell where am i doing wrong,,,  so it is seeing

1. filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 306904 blocks???
2. physical size of the device is 305203 blocks.


How do i create filesystem size equal to physical size...and then write image to CF card.?

Pls help ahead....:)

Thanks in advance

Hello All,,
 
Any ways i solved the problem of HDC errors with existing CF card ...
 
The problem is when creating filesystem using Fdisk ..
 
Below is the steps..
 
Step 1.
                Note down the cylinder Size of bximage output Wrritten
        Eg:-    ata0-master: type=disk, path="c.img", mode=flat, cylinders=1015, heads=16, spt=63
Step 2.
        Command (m for help): x
                Expert command (m for help): h 16
                Number of heads (1-256, default 255): 16
                Expert command (m for help): s
                Number of sectors (1-63, default 63): 63
                Warning: setting sector offset for DOS compatiblity
                Expert command (m for help): c
                Number of cylinders (1-1048576): 1015
                Expert command (m for help): r
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Command (m for help): n
        Command action
                   e   extended
                   p   primary partition (1-4)
        p
        Partition number (1-4): 1
        First cylinder (1-1015, default 1):
        Using default value 1
        Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-1015, default 1015):
        Using default value 1015
Command (m for help): wq

 
But i use to do just from ----line----- below ..that created the problem of having filesystem BIG and physical device small.

Solved my self :)

Thank u all.....
 
Warm Regards
