Possibly because something happened on the disk that led to the inconsistency. This is possible when there is a power outage during a disk write operation. It can be a problem if the file(s) being written to is a critical file. Normally a user will not write to critical files (except root perhaps) but there is a slight chance that root was writing to disk and the power went out. That can cause problems. If it was critical user data, that is a problem too! -Naren _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
