Hi all, Thanks in advance for any attention you lend to this request for help. How do you file-system-check the root partition (/) when it appears that it's always mounted even in single-mode?
The reason I'm asking this question is that a day and a half ago, I replaced the power supply on one of my servers. I had a master and a slave ide disks (and other scsi ones). I removed the slave one because it was not even mounted. Twelve hours later, it starting acting kind of funny. I discovered that noone could login to the system because /etc/exports was there but the system was not exporting any file systems. When I looked at the /etc/exports file, there was a bunch or junk at the end, like @ signs and stuff. Luckily I had a backup of it to replace it. There was another configuration file which showed the same behaviour, namely /etc/printcap. Again I had a backup copy to use. Things seem to be normal on the surface, except that I'm getting some error messages.Here's some of them from dmesg: ================start========== >dev 03:01 blksize=1024 blocknr=1701999988

problably don't need it all, but here you have it. At first look I thought that I maybe switched hard drives on myself, in the exitement of the moment, but I double check jumpers, as well as data that I'd added just recently to some httpd folders and this is the right master drive. I can also tell that it's talking about /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda5 partitions (slash and /tmp mount points respectively) Is there anything you can make out of this?
