Looks like your filesystem is corrupted. take a look at man xfs_repair & man fsck.xfs

<snip> Thanks for your response. Sorry for the gap, I have been away from my machine for a few days. I am new at this so please educate me as much as possible. If my file system were corrupt, would I not see something in the startup (i.e. `demsg'). Everything works fine for a little while and then goes south (at random intervals). Would there be any indication of a problem during the boot sequence? This is what I get from 'demsg |grep XFS' : SGI XFS 1.2.0 with ACLs, DMAPI, realtime, quota, no debug enabled XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,4) Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: ide0(3,4) XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,69) Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: ide0(3,69) XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,72) Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: ide0(3,72) XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,70) Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: ide0(3,70) XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,71) Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: ide0(3,71) And this from 'demsg |grep xfs' : VFS: Mounted root (xfs filesystem) readonly. Also, I have looked at man fsck.xfs and it indicates that it is run at startup; is there something I have to do to get this to run at startup? In man xfs_repair it states that I have to umount the partition before repairing. This cannot be done on a regular boot (not even safe mode) because the partitions are "busy". Do I have to do a floppy boot in order to use this? Please provide any information possible (step-by-step if possible). Also references to other places that give more information on this will be appreciated. Thanks, Darrell
