Detected aborted journal

%expand% Detected aborted journal %set(body,%html-clean({

Got the error message "Detected aborted journal" and "Remounting filesystem read-only".

Since it was a remote server I wanted to fix it without rebooting to single user mode, or hopefully, not reboot at all.

# run fuser -v -m /home/ and shut down processes accessing drive (mounted as /home, extra slash needed)
fuser -v -m /home/ /etc/init.d/httpd stop fuser -v -m /home/ # kill some bash process i'd left open fuser -k -m /home/

# no more procs? ... unmount
umount /home

# ditch journal
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda6

# fix drive
fsck /dev/sda6

# put back journal
tune2fs -j /dev/sda6

# remount
mount /home

# start needed services

/etc/init.d/httpd start /etc/init.d/postgresql start

# pager goes off... "system back up"... yay
