dying USB rootfs Iomega EZ (1 reply)

Hi,

I've got a Iomega EZ running Debian at my parents house for doing local backups of their phones and tablets. I just logged in to check everything is still running OK and it seems the USB drive with the rootfs is dying. I can't use sudo to run apt-get update and there seem to be file system issues. dmesg shows the following output:

[2163755.377304] EXT2-fs (sdb1): error: ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #64001: : unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=64001, rec_len=1038, name_len=1
[2163755.391933] EXT2-fs (sdb1): error: remounting filesystem read-only
[2163755.398707] EXT2-fs (sdb1): error: ext2_readdir: bad page in #64001
[2163755.405410] EXT2-fs (sdb1): error: remounting filesystem read-only
[2163784.892649] EXT2-fs (sdb1): error: ext2_readdir: bad page in #64001
[2163784.899571] EXT2-fs (sdb1): error: remounting filesystem read-only

Is there anything that can be done through vpn / ssh to fix the file system errors or should I just replace the USB drive next time I visit them?
