centos-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:centos-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Harry Sukumar Good Day All, I have a serious problem on one of my servers running
CentOS 5!!! The problem started this way, I wanted to store some data under /home and I got an error
message saying it is in the read only mode So I rebooted the machine, Then I see this serious error messages at boot time (I am
unable to boot) Here is the Error Message!!! *** Error occurred during the file
system check. *** Dropping you to shell; the system
will reboot *** when you leave the shell Give root password for maintenance (or type control D to continue): Bash: dircolors: command not found Bash: /usr/bin/id: No such file or
directory Bash: [:=: unary operator expected (Repair filesystem)1 # When I press control D the machine reboots itself and
comes back to the same prompt asking for root password for maintenance Your help in this matter is highly appreciated Many Thanks Harry |
