So by logging into single user mode..how would one do that? and I would run it on hdc1 ?
Evan Brown
when you reboot, and this is bootloader specific.
LILO:
get to a text prompt and type
linux single <where linux is the name of the kernel image you normally boot>
Grub:
highlight the choice you want
type 'e'
move over the kernel /vmlinux... line you chose, type 'e' again scroll to the end and type single hit enter and then 'b' to boot.
You could always from a running machine do init 1. but I'm not sure how well that would work.
once you're in single usermode, do fsck /dev/hdxN where x is the letter of the hardrive and N is the partition number. I would suggest doing this for ALL partitions, cause you don't know where the damage would be. Then you're done, reboot.
