When I am booting into SuSE, I am getting this error:

fsck.ext2 /dev/hdc7 failed (status 8): Run it manually!
fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write to:
bash# mount -n -o remount, rw /
dieter's solution will work well but i like this: e2fsck -p /dev/hdc7
I don't think the "-p" option will help since e2fsck is (in SuSE 7.1) started in /etc/init.d/boot with the "-a" option which is the same as "-p". In other words, since "e2fsck -a" failed to repair the filesystem automatically, "e2fsck -p" will also fail. I don't mind answering e2fsck questions ("e2fsck /dev/hdc7"), but those who do may prefer the suggested "e2fsck -y /dev/hdc7" (-y means "yes" to all questions). -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se

I think it also needs to be clear that /dev/hcc7 meeds to be unmounted first: umount /dev//hdc7 then e2fsck can be run. if you want to see the actual errors, don't add -y, but you will then have to watch each one and reply with the y, and if you want to log it pipe it to a file. if it fails, you will need to do this to ask further questions. -- Bob Rea Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg rear@sirius.com http://www.sirius.com/~rear
From Bob Rea to suse-linux-e@suse.com about Re: [SLE] Boot Error:
I think it also needs to be clear that /dev/hcc7 meeds to be unmounted first: It's also acceptable for it to be mounted read-only which is the case here. (See the mail starting this thread.)
umount /dev//hdc7
then e2fsck can be run.
if you want to see the actual errors, don't add -y, but you will then have to watch each one and reply with the y, and if you want to log it pipe it to a file. if it fails, you will need to do this to ask further questions.
