I have a ThinkPad 560, 24/2.1, with a new RedHat 5.0 (2.0.30, I think) installation and a Windows partition... right now I'm running Windows, because Linux just died on me and I can't get it back up... I had an ongoing problem where "shutdown -h now" would always complain that it couldn't umount /dev/hda4 because /usr was busy, even though -- fuser -k /usr returned nothing right before typing shutdown, and -- I added "mount -o remount,ro /dos" and "mount -o remount,ro /usr" to /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt right before "umount -a". This meant that the system was never properly halted and had to be switched off, after which fsck would run on reboot (normally just fixing a few problems on its own, or not finding any problems). I hadn't succeeded in resolving this problem when... ...this morning, fsck dropped me into a shell to run fsck "MANUALLY (i.e., without -a or -p options". So I did (e2fsck /dev/hda4). After several hundred pages of (if I recall correctly) unattached inodes (I just kept the "y" key pressed until it was done), it came to -------------------------------------------------------------- Pass 4: Checking reference counts Unattached inode 370009 Connect to /lost+found<y>? yes No room in lost+found directory. Expand<y>? yes Segmentation fault (core dumped) [root@localhost /root]# -------------------------------------------------------------- The funny thing is [root@localhost /root]# df Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda2 99539 50894 43505 54% / ..so you would think there would be some space in /lost+found. :( If anyone has any idea how to go about fixing this, short of wiping it and reinstalling from scratch, I'd be very grateful if you'd email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks!
