I was using netscape (communicator4.5) and all of a sudden... the x-window
hanged! Not even Ctrl-Alt-Backspace would work, so I had to resort to the
reset button.
Now, on reboot, the problem came when checking hdc6 (/home):
/dev/hdc6: Unattached inode 70865
/dev/hdc6: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
(i.e. without -a or -p options)
... then kept checking until...
fsck failed - Please repair manually
CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and continue system startup
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):
... so here I choose to press ^D ...
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
login:
I tried to run e2fsck but it told me to run fsck without the -a or -p
options (ok, now I realize I was trying to run `e2fsck -p'), so I ran fsck:
fsck /dev/hdc6
Parallelizing fsck version 1.10 (24-Apr-97)
e2fsck 1.10, 24-Apr-97 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/hdc6 is mounted. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes
/dev/hdc6 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure

Unattached inode 70865

Inode 70865 ref count is 2, should be 1. Fix<y>? yes

Block bitmap differences: -152626 -152627 -152628 -152629 -152630 -152631
-152632. FIXED
Free blocks count wrong for group 18 (172, counted=179). FIXED
Free blocks count wrong (234959, counted=234966). FIXED
/dev/hdc6: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/hdc6: 1518/76912 files (9.9% non-contiguous), 72127/307093 blocks
I include the file /home/lost+found/#70865 which looks like html stuff, which
I think should be from the site I was browsing (actually, just trying a ftp
link).
Deeply Concerned,
