Hear Hear!!
Just went throughh that yesterday, RHL 6.3. I'm not competent to run that
wretched program in manuam mode, and I doubth that anyone on this list is.
Certainly nobody's going to take the time to give a considered reply to each
and every of the thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of questions it asked me.
I held "y" down and still it took an hour or so.
I did NOT like the look of what was in lost+found and could not delete it.
There were file dates going back to 1943 and into the future at least to 2005
(or was it 2025?).
I fixed it by dd bs=2048k if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc5 followed by mkfs.ext2.
I didn't actually have much important there; I'd just created it and copied
data from elsewhere, but I sure was lucky.
