prior (during) to your post, I was in the middle of trying #fsck /dev/hda2 and said yes to everything...
guess what, I'm back !!!!
Good.
However, ok.... is there anything thing that I can do to follow up up on this ? i.e. I noticed that you said to try 'e2fsck', recalling now I am using ext3.... is it worth trying to do the e2fsck again (somehow).... ?
No. The main difference between ext2 and ext3 (aiui) is journaling which appears to cut fsck times by approximately 10::1 (favor of ext3) and there is *no* difference between e2fsck, fsck.ext2 and fsck.ext3. ps: Please trim your quotes and avoid top posting. 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
