I was doing a search of directories to see the sizes, and had some messages come up about Structure needs cleaning? My original solution didn't work so well. Files where in the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory and the latest one was from 2016. Since it was part of the / (root) partition /dev/sda2, I just did the touch /forcefsck and figured the reboot would then have it run a check on the disk. The machine rebooted, and did the check, but failed at about 60+% and just dumped to a limited command prompt. Was able to fix the problem, by booting to my g4l kernel that loads in ram from the grub menu. Was able to run fsck -f /dev/sda2 and it reported the errors on these files in the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory. Reboot, and machine came up fine. Had a number of entries and the lost+found. So, question. 1. Why wouldn't the boot fsck fix the problem without dumping to a command prompt? 2. Have a notebook that also has the fedora 28, but it was a clean install. It doesn't even have the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory. So, am assumming that this was left over from system from serveral upgrades ago. 3. Other than booting from another liveos type setup, is there a way to fix this kind of error. Machine has been rebooted, but have never seen the error of Structure needing cleaning before. Thanks for any info. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
