[CLUE-Tech] filesystem error at boot

[Kirk Brownlee]

You may have to be in the dir that fsck is in /bin or /sbin or /etc no I am
sorry
I don't know for sure and am at work so I don't have my Linux box to look
at.

And you will probly have to give it the partition info like #fsck /dev/sda
or
 /dev/hda.....

And may even have to do a ./fsck to let it know to use current Directory
very
little of the shell is there and none of the path variable is pulled over

Subject: [CLUE-Tech] filesystem error at boot


Dear clue-tech,

I am a newbie running RED Hat 7.1.  The system has been running for about a
month.  My daughter turned off my machine without proper shutdown
procedures.
Now during the boot up I get the following on the monitor at the end of the
boot process:






Checking root filesystem
/ contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/:
Directory inode 228107, block 0, offset 0: directory corrupted


/: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
                 (i.e., without -a or -p options)

[FAILED]


*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startyp):



I put  in the root password, then I get


(Repair filesystem) 1 #


but what do I do then???  I have typed in fsck (return) but just get

(Repair filesystem) 2 #

and so on!!!!




help !!!

Randolph
