Da: Marco Poponi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oggetto: [expert] file system errors! Data: gioved� 29 aprile 1999 15.46 I need Help,please! I am in big troubles, and with a lot of work to do! I use (used! :-[ ) linux mandrake, kern 2.2.1 , and this is my table: hda /win 98 4GB (bootable) hdc1/linux swap = 32MB hdc2/linux native= 3.5GB hdc3/DOS partition=4GB. Today, I was booting Linux, as usual from a zImage floppy. All of a sudden, the screen filled with error messages,EXT2-fs error..(..) trying to access beyond (...) wanted 88461654 and so on for a long time. After a while, a sort of booting process went on. Logged on. The system was unusable: lots of messges telling me the UTMP file not found and memory problem. Rebooted, it tried to reboot just to tell me that there were filesystem errors on /dev/hdc2 !! I was given the option to enter the system in read only mode for maintenance. Did it, and run fsck /dev/hdc2: a lot of clear? fix? .. Answered yes to a number of them, but after a long time, I just ctrl-C it. Hint: last day I discovered that Winbloze didn't recognize E: (hdc3). I do not know what happened to it, and when it happened. I formatted it. all (seemingly) went well. Or maybe not?... Please help me, at least tell me how can I save the work I was doing on my Linux system, that I use for developing and work. I have backups of most of my work, but not of downloaded proggies and of hard-earned right system settings... Thanx in advance, Marco Poponi, Italy. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
