unreadable ibdata1

Post by Sir_Yaro »

Hi.

I have a quite simple question.

Two hours ago we figured out that disk controller in mail server got broken, which caused to disk errors and now /opt/zimbra/db/data/ibdata1 file is completely unreadable:
cat: ibdata1: Input/output error
I had a full server backup, but it got broken because of above error. So it's useless. It looks like 99.9% of files is intact but ibdata1 seems to be very important. :/
Right now I'm doing full server backup which can take another few hours (500GB of mails).
What can I do to restore this file?

I have the same problem.

When I try to copy ibdata1 file I get "Input/output error" which causes fatal filesystem errors, which are getting fixed by fsck on next reboot.

Is there is any solution?
