The system in question is a C360, 512K Ram and a 9 Gig HD. bofh:~# uname -a Linux bofh 2.4.9-pa24 #2 Fri Sep 21 20:40:31 UTC 2001 parisc unknown I then patted myself of the back and went home and had myself a good weekend. When I returned to work this monday morning I noticed the following in my minicom (C360 Console) window: bofh login: EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,4)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #870061: directory entry across blocks - offset=0, inode=1701273973, rec_len=24864, name_len=115 Remounting filesystem read-only EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,4)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #837235: unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=1684107116, rec_len=28265, name_len=103 Remounting filesystem read-only After that all kinds of warnings and errors regarding a read only root. I opted for a reboot and I had to run fsck manually and there where lots of things fsck wanted me to say "Y" to. bofh:/# du -s lost+found/ 1796 lost+found bofh:/# ls -l lost+found | grep -c ^- 50 bofh:/# ls -l lost+found | grep -c ^d 20 I would understand that "sh**" can happen when it crashes or something like that, but nothing happened during the weekend. -- Rikki. -- HP Technical Support, RHCE, RHCX, HP-UX Certified Admin. -- Solaris 7 Certified Systems and Network Administrator.
