[SLE] power failure run fsck manually
He everyone. Had a powerfailure in the middle of big Gimp session. Now get: /dev/hdc3 contains a file system with errors. Check forced. /dev/hdc3: unexpected inconsistency. Run fsck manually Can see all the files there but can't run X or do anything worthwhile. What a pity after such a successful three months with Linux. Any ideas as to what to do anyone? How do you 'run fsck manually'?

fsck -t ext2 /dev/hdc3 fsck -t ext2 -a /dev/hdc3 (which automatically confirms prompts) fsck -t ext2 -c /dev/hdc3 (to check for bad blocks) The -v option is the verbose option I had exactly the same thing happen to me, which is why I now have an UPS attached to my box. Recovering from my failure I noticed that some files became directories and some directories became files, requiring me to do some manual repairs and re-installs of some software, all in the perl directory.
