If your description of the events were accurate, the only thing that can explain it is hardware error, or user error (i.e. you accidentally specified the wrong device somewhere along the line). Without more detalis about specifically what error messages were displayed by fsck, it's really hard to say much more, unfortunately. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
