In short, filesystem check is the same thing, you used to get in windows after a bad shutdown- chkdsk. It is done regularly by default on Linux to ensure consistency of data and hard disk. This should help if you're using an ext3/4 on /dev/sda7. Run as root- tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sda7 -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
