Can someone help? ReiserFS seems to suggest fsck. I have never used that though. Do I have to go to runlevel 3? How do I proceed?

Hi Kostas,
I sure hope you have recent backups available. Did you have a power failure recently or some other untimely shutdown? If not, you could be heading for a full drive failure fairly quickly.
Plan on backing that drive up immediately after you've repaired the file system and can access it's contents. You can then afford to exercise and test the drive out.
- boot into >>> rescue mode <<< using the CD or floppies. - log in as "root" (doesn't ask for a password.) - mount /dev/hdd2
**Never** fsck a mounted partition.
