You mean this message
/dev/hda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
You simply run e2fsck manually :-)
# e2fsck /dev/hda5
It doesen't tell you but it can be handy running it like this:-
# e2fsck -f -y /dev/hda5
(That's force, answer yes to everything).
For those that are interested, and can easily handle e2fsck already, I
actually created a test filesystem to do this by doing the following:-
1003 dd if=/dev/zero of=junkfs bs=8192 count=100
1004 ls -l junkfs
1005 mke2fs junkfs {whinges about not being a block special device}
1006 e2fsck junkfs
1007 mount -t ext2 -o loop junkfs /mnt/floppy
1008 cd /mnt/floppy/
1009 ls
1010 cp /etc/* .
1011 ls
1012 cd
1013 umount /dev/floppy
1014 mount /mnt/floppy
1015 mount
1016 umount /root/junkfs
1017 vi junkfs {deliberately edited the raw filesystem to corrupt}
1018 e2fsck junkfs
1019 e2fsck -f junkfs
That's straight from my bash history file.
