Hi Wei.
hi dustin , thanks for your reply
You're welcome.
now i just want to know is there any handbook can guide me to perform the "re-image"
Certainly, check the Re-Imaging a Local Controller section of the Install and Upgrade Guide.
so could you tell me where i can find the latest soft image for the mars-55
The latest version is (as of this writing) 6.1.3 and the System Recovery .ISO image file for 6.1.3 (what you would burn to a DVD-R disc and use to re-image the appliance following the steps linked above), can be downloaded here.
But, keep in mind that if you have NFS/SFTP Data Archives (backups) to restore, then you must re-image to the exact same version of software that created the latest backups (i.e. whatever version was running on the MARS prior to this failure) in order to be able to restore them.
"/dev/sda8 contains a file system with errors, check forced " when i "re-image" the mars , the problem partition/filesystem will start to repair itself ? that is to say i have no need to replace the harddisk?
The re-image operation will result in the appliance's partitions/filesystems being recreated (and working copies of the OS and software being copied over). Think of it as performing a fdisk, format, and clean install of an Operating System on a workstation/server. This should resolve the fsck (filesystem check) error message you've encountered. There could be an underlying hardware/media problem that caused the filesystem problem, but since no such messages are shown, the first step would be to eliminate filesystem corruption (by re-imaging), and then once complete, if the problem immediately recurred, it's possible there is a hardware problem that warrants further investigation.
