and while this won't help you much, and undoubtedly sounds harsh, if you don't appreciate that "fsck" is not meant to be used on a swap partition, you really aren't qualified to be messing with the root account, doing stuff like this. like i said, it sounds harsh, but based on the last few emails and how you've been confused about why fsck hasn't been working, if you weren't aware of how and when it should be used, you are just not ready for serious sys admin work. sorry, but i suggest you pick up a book on basic linux admin and start reading. until you get a handle on this, you're pretty much guaranteed to do major damage real soon now. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
