Ted & all, Here's the typescript; it showed no errors. I did not stop the raid device before running the fsck; let me know if that would make a difference. schaller@debian:~$ sudo e2fsck /dev/hdc e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) /dev/hdc: clean, 24724/4898816 files, 8018633/9780372 blocks schaller@debian:~$ sudo e2fsck /dev/hdd e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) /dev/hdd: clean, 24724/4898816 files, 8018633/9780372 blocks I then ran "e2fsck -f" on each device: schaller@debian:~$ sudo e2fsck -f /dev/hdc e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /dev/hdc: 24724/4898816 files (21.1% non-contiguous), 8018633/9780372 blocks schaller@debian:~$ sudo e2fsck -f /dev/hdd e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /dev/hdd: 24724/4898816 files (21.1% non-contiguous), 8018633/9780372 blocks -jeff On Sun, 24 Nov 2002, Theodore Ts'o wrote: > These messages tend to indicate that the filesystem is probably > corrupted.
