I reinstalled everything, but I kept my other hard-drive also, I have it so that the installation was installed on the new primary hard-drive, but my /home and /srv are mounted onto my old hard-drive, my thinking was that if something went wrong I could reinstall and remount without loss of data....
Both hd's are either ext2 or 3 (not reiserfs)....
However, upon booting up I'm now being told:
fsk failed.
try #mount -n -o remount, rw /
but when I try this doesn't work ?
Problem seems to be on hda2, is this my old hard-drive.... and even if so why can't I login at least since the os is supposed to be on the primary hard-drive....
Instead of trying to remount, do as root: e2fsck -y /dev/hda2 This *should* resolve your problem but you *might* suffer some file loss depending. WARNING: if the disk is large and ext2, the time required may be lengthy. If it is ext3, time will be *much* shorter. gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery
