Hello, I have twice experienced a problem where at boot time fsck determined that the root filesystem (ext3) was "broken". fsck was run at boot time because the system determined that root has been mounted 26 times without being checked. The system was up and running minutes previous to this and was shutdown cleanly. I received the following message: fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do:"
bash# mount -n -o remount,rw /" Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintanance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work. I mounted root read/write and attempted fsck manually as follows: fsck.ext3 -aV /dev/dasda1 The result was all directories and files ended up in "lost+found" and I had to restore the minidisk from backup. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
