After it came up again I got the message: "Special (device/socket/fifo) inode 260915 has non-zero size. FIXED." Great, I thought. Unfortunately I get the message every time fsck runs (or rather is forced to run) after boot. I shutdown using "shutdown -F -r now" and get the exact same message every time. I've tried booting with the rescue disk and running fsck on the filesystem twice in a row. This works without error, but the next time I boot up the system normally (with the -F flag) I get the error again. I'm using fsck 1.27 and the filesystem I'm having problems with is the root filesystem (ext2). Any ideas? thanks, -Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
