In the course of trying to get X to work on my ASUS 1005HA netbook, I had to power the machine off several times. In the course of this, some damage seems to have occurred to the file system. There are files in /var /tmp which I can't remove: the msg is "EXT2-fs error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 16388".
I got round the problem by creating new dirs, copying everything else & renaming the dirs, but that leaves me with /bad1 , which I can't remove as it contains a reference to an inode which no longer exists. NB this is not the more common problem of a bad file name, which cb dealt with simply by removing the inode (which still exists). Can anyone help ? BTW is Ext2 the best fs for this machine ? Might Ext3 or Ext4 be better ? -- I use Reiserfs on my desktop machines. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
