the blackout caused my server to shut off instantly. so when i booted up again, i had all sorts of problems that i don't understand. my filesystems were not, obviously, unmounted cleanly, so i had fsck forced. and so ensued a zillion messages about this block and that i_node. it is the most unclear, unintuitive, yet most stressful part of my entire computing experience, i think.
so...my questions are...what do i do? ignore errors? auto fix them? if i don't auto fix them, how can i boot? other OSes auto-fix errors in filesystems. what is an i_node? why are they 64 instead of 8? why does this part of booting have to be so freaking stressful and opaque? everytime this happens, i go fsck -a, choose <ignore> and <y>, and i ultimately go on with booting and computing. thus, the entire process seems silly. vora _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
