Hi-
I just encountered some hard drive errors on bootup. A portion of my boot
seqence is below:
/dev/hda7 reached maximal mount count, check forced
I then had a long disk read, followed by something to the
effect of:
hard drive has errors, run fsck MANUALLY, without options
I entered the root pw, and got a prompt. I ran fsck on hda7 and
received this message:
i_faddr for inode 360590 (/usr/share/applnk/System/switchdesk.kdelnk) is
65536, clear<y>?
I answered yes, and eventually got some "everything seems okay"
messages from fsck, then rebooted, and everything seems to be all right
now. But I'm curious what happened -- what does maximal mount count mean,
and does the "i_faddr..." msg really tell me? Is there something I'm
perhaps doing that I shouldn't be doing? (Is it a problem with not
properly unmounting a windows drive?)
Thanks again-
