The -p option is equivalent to the -a option, and is the default. Either with or without it, fsck will only look for errors if the superblock is marked dirty, or if it fails replaying the journal. To force fsck to fix errors, use the -f flag. > > HOWEVER ... > > fsck.jfs -n /dev/hda1 says there are errors ... > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# fsck.jfs -n /dev/hda1 > Block size in bytes: 4096 > File system size in blocks: 1791712 > Phase 1 - Check Blocks, Files/Directories, and Directory Entries. > <snip snip snip in output> > Phase 8 - Verify Disk Allocation Maps. > Incorrect data detected in disk allocation structures. > Incorrect data detected in disk allocation control structures. > File system checked READ ONLY. > File system is dirty. > File system is dirty but is marked clean.

I'm afraid /home/sunny is gone. lost+found contains the contents of the directory, but no longer has the file names.

How does it fail, and what version of fsck are you running (fsck.jfs -V)? -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
