| Bad mojo took place today at the home office in Topeka, KS (aka my house).
|
| I have SuSE 7.2 running. My desktop locked-up. HARD! I mean no mouse, no
| keyboard, unable to toggle desktops from KDE. I did a hard shutdown (power
| cycle).
|
| While watching the system perform the fsck, I observed the following error
| message:
| /dev/hda3 contains file system with errors, check forced.
| /dev/hda3
| Unattached inode 1212796
|
| /dev/hda3: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; Run fsck MANUALLY.
| (i.e., without -a or -p options)
| fsck.ext2 /dev/hda3 failed (status 4)! Run it manually!
| .
| .
| .
| .
|
| fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root
| file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount
| it read-write do:
| bash# mount -n -o remount,rw /
|
| Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this
| maintenenance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work.
|
| After logging in as root, I am in the (repair filesystem)# mode.
|
| I have tried the following with no success:
| (e2)fsck /dev/hda3 --> WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem
may
| cause
| SEVERE filesystem damage.
|
| I can get to my data (read only, obviuosly) and can view it. I can access
it
| from this 'file fix' prompt (command-shell). I am just unable to boot the
| filesystem. Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do here?
|
| Private email is okay.
