Thanks, Eric. I have just run the command 'shutdown -rF now'. How can
I now check whether my file system is not corrupted? The point is that
I do not see the result of 'shutdown -rF now'...

Thats a root only command for starters, and it should have made the
machine reboot, during which the fsck on the file systems would have
been done, however you may have to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to remove
the 'rhgb' from the kernels boot command line before you would see
anything because it would otherwise be hid behind a graphic and all
you would see is a longer bootup time. rhgb is the work of somebody
trying to make it more like a (spit) windows experience. Its a bad
idea. We want to KNOW what its doing while booting.
RHGB falls back to text mode on any warnings or error messages including
fsck process. So your comment is misleading.

Thats a later addition I assume? The one time I actually had a problem
with it was back about FC2 time IIRC, and it may have attempted to, but
fubared the video mode doing it, repeatedly. Long time back up the logs
now of course, but thats had me removing it asap since. Thanks for the
heads up.
