Hi all, Apologies but this is going to be a long post. I get a corruption sometime when I do a $sudo shutdown -r now This is on an ubuntu 8.10 machine. The only way to resolve the same I know is to do a sudo fsck -y /dev/sdb7 This is the output I got when I ran fsck through the Live CD $ sudo fsck -y /dev/sdb7 fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) /dev/sdb7 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
