Hello, ince 10 days ago, I often get fsck error messages while booting. In 2 out of 3 cases, I have to repair manually, and I often need several tries. While mounting filesystem during the normal boot process, e . g. after successfully repairing filesystems, I often get the following message: Error: ext2_check_blocks_bitmap (device 03.09): Wrong free blocks count for group 168 stored=7242 counted=7241 Error: ext2_check_blocks_bitmap (device 03.09): Wrong free blocks count in superblock stored=xxx counted=xxx-1 (numbers may vary) This errors mostly arise after significant writing activity on this partition (mostly /usr). (Since I tried to reinstall Linux several times, this often was the busiest partition.) I did not suffer significant loss of data, only xemacs crashed when attempting to start (segmentation fault). Windoze 95 on the same disk seems to run (or walk:) normally, although in my impression, it is even slower and less stable (but I dont know where to get significant error messages). I repartitioned, reformatted, reinstalled on different physical regions of the disk, with always the same result. I used a minimal Linux system on a ZIP disk and even got a similar fsck message once, without much writing activity. My hardware: Tyan Titan Turbo ATX-2 S1573 (Intel TX) IBM DHEA 6,4 GB (EIDE) (hda or hdc) ZIP ATAPI internal (hdc or hda) CD-ROM Lite-on ATAPI 24x internal (hdd or hdb) Can anone help me ?
