My computer just seized up (cursor frose; ctrl-alt bksp and ctrl-alt del did nothing). I then warm rebooted. After the usual, I got:
Checking root file system Parallelizing fsck /dev/hda2 contains a file system with errors, check forced /dev/hda2: unattached inode 28780 /dev/hda2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY FSCK FAIL. lease repair manually and reboot. Please note that the root file system is currently mounted read only. To remount it write #mount -n -o remount,rw / I remounted as requested and got EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended. EXT2-fs error (device 03:02): ext2_check_blocks_bitmap: wrong free blocks count in super block, Stored = 3170112, counted = 3170136 EXT2-fs error (device 03:02): ext2_check_inodes_bitmap: wrong free inodes count in super block, Stored = 977529, counted = 977522 I then tried #fsck and got Parallelizing fsck version 1.10. #fsck -r gave same thing. Then tried #e2fsck /dev/hda2 as advised above and got /dev/hda2 is mounted. Do you want to continue (y/n). I cautiously responded n. I also tried #rdev -R/vmlinuz 1 which Sobell's book says should force Linux to boot with root file system mounted readonly, and got 1: no such file or directory. I am now at a standstill. Any help on what to do next would be much appreciated. Albert Hurd -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
