RE: [SLUG] corrupt filesystem

["Grant Sorensen" <Grant_Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks  Bernhard,
I ran your suggestion & problem solved.  Thanks.  I did run e2fsck -r (not -y I'm assuming that -y gives an automatic yes answer to querys.  man fsck doesn't list the -y option ) without specifying the partition with no result.  I thought that running e2fsck would automatically default to checking the / partition.

try

e2fsck -y /dev/hda1
..... to hda7 (or however many partitions you have).

Subject: [SLUG] corrupt filesystem


Hi All,
On booting my box I get the message that filesystem is corrupt.  I ran
fsck -A -V and get the value of 8 (operational error).   The manual I've got
says that if the value is 4 or more then 'more recovery measures are
needed'.  But it doesn't say what these measures are or give other options.
Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks
Grant
