Hi Avi Firstly, thanks a bunch for your reply. But I am sorry man, I have already done a reinstall. You may imagine hanging on a shell that does nothing good, for 2 days. Anyways, thanks for the suggestion. If unfortunately the situation arises again, I'll surely give your suggestion a shot. Thanks and regards. Sumit

But again it I came across a similar issue on a firewall running EXT2 that had been shutdown incorrectly. I initially ran `e2fsck -b 16385 /dev/hda9` and then ran `e2fsck -vy /dev/hda9` a couple times to ensure all was well. It's probably a good idea to check your other file systems for corruption while your at it. You can view a list of all your partitions by typing the following: `fdisk -l` Hope that helps.
