the facts: i've got an ext3 partition that system didn't correctly unmont due to a power failure while i was downloading a huge file. at the reboot the other ext3 partition (the /) got checked and fixed perfectly, but fsck was needed for the one where the file was downloading to. here's the problem: the system completely freeze during the check, approximately always at the same point (i tried several times, even with badblocks scanning). i even removed the incriminated file, but the problem persists... what can i do? i'm running a vanilla 2.4.19 kernel, on a debian sid, with e2fsprogs 1.27+1.28-WIP-0626-1 thanks Francesco (please replay also directly to me)
