Best do /sbin/fsck -y -A -y = say yes to all -A = fsck all partitions listed in /etc/fstab > What does the error mean. I have an almost new (~ 3 months) 40 GB hdd. Likely a stray bad block or two. Happens sometimes. Hope your hard disk is partitioned into multiple partitions (/, /boot, /var, /usr, /home etc) .. makes things much easier when you have a large hard drive. Makes reinstalls / upgrades easier as well :) -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #043 -**< Sub : Re-initialise /etc/inittab >**- To re-initialise changes made to /etc/inittab without the need to reboot, do: '#init q' Init is the last step of the kernel boot sequence. "q" option re-examines and re-initialises /etc/inittab. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
