Hi,
When I tried to boot this morning after a normal shutdown of RH6.2
the evening before I received the following message:
Activating Swap: /dev/hd8: invalid argument :[failed]
the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct
ext2 filesystem. Your might try running 2fsck with an alternate
superblock
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda2:
[failed]
hda2 is my root partition.
Then it stops saying:
Give root password for maintenance
or ^C-d for normal start-up.
Not knowing what to do in maintenance I first tried to upgrade
where it showed that / and /home were corrupted. I then reinstalled
the RH6.2 distro formatting /, /home and swap, however, not /usr
and /usr/local and I was back in business booting normally.
Now on the second booting the same problem appears again.
What have I to do to solve the problem.
Thanks
Peter
