Hi there, I am very new in linux and met the filesystem problem as described in the following, I tried to use 'fsck' and tried to find some support documents but failed. Your hints and helps are very appreciated. Millions of thanks, Annie The error message is (sorry for it's length, I just want to make it clear) ==================================================================== checking root filesystem /:contain a file system with errors. check forced ... /:Duplicate blocks found... invoking duplicate block passes Pass 1B: Rescan for duplicate/bad blocks /:Duplicate/bad block(s) in inode 52:/: 1661/: /:Duplicate/bad block(s) in inode 53:/: 1662/: /:Duplicate/bad block(s) in inode 71:/: 1662/: /:Duplicate/bad block(s) in inode 74:/: 1661/: /Pass 1C: Scan directories for inodes with dup blocks /:Pass 1D: Reconciling duplicate blocks /:(There are 4 inodes containing duplicate/bad blocks) /:File /root/.gnome/session/ (inode #74, mod time Sun Apr 21 12:48:48 2002) has 1 duplicate blocks), shared with 1 file(s): /: /root/.gnome/panel.d/default/Applet_4.desktop (inode #52, mod time Sun Apr 21 10:02:00 2002) /: /:UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY ================================================== Below are what I tried with 'fsck' (Repair Filesystem)1# fsck Parallelizing fsck version 1.19 (13-Jul-2000) (Repair Filesystem)2# fsck /root Parallelizing fsck version 1.19 (13-Jul-2000) e2fsck 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /root (Repair Filesystem)3# fsck /root/.gnome/session Parallelizing fsck version 1.19 (13-Jul-2000) e2fsck 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 fsck.ext2: Read-only file system while trying to open /root/.gnome/session Disk write-protected, use -n option to do read-only (Repair Filesystem)4# fsck -n /root/.gnome/session Parallelizing fsck version 1.19 (13-Jul-2000) e2fsck 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 fsck.ext2: Attemp to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /root/.gnome/session Could this be a zero-length partition? ========================================================= _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
