system: debian unstable, kernel 2.4.10
my /home filesystem was suddenly read-only, here' what I've found:
/var/log/syslog:

the filesystem is set to remount read-only when an error is
encountered:
/dev/hdb7 on /home type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
could that be the reason? I did not found what does the error below
mean? is the HD dying? or is it filesystem problem (this is the first
this problem occured)
I unmounted the filesystem, filesystem check found:
------ fsck output begin
...
Pass 5: Checking block summary information
Block bitmap differences: -3937687
Fix<y>? yes
home: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
home: 208192/2443200 files (11.6% non-contiguous), 3643236/4883752
blocks
------ fsck output end
I mounted the filesystem, restarted xdm and everything looks ok... any
ideas on what's going on?
TIA
