Humm, is it possible, that the device was a floppy? ls -l /dev/fd0* or cat /proc/devices show you, that the block device 2:0 is the floppy device. Check this first.
Try fsck.ext2 (or fsck) with -fvn <your root device eg /dev/hda1>. -n tests in read-only mode.
Ok, here there's the result:
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Warning! /dev/hda1 is mounted. 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
30 inodes used (1%) 1 non-contiguous inodes (3.3%) # of inodes with ind/dind/tind blocks: 10/6/0 6937 blocks used (86%) 0 bad blocks 0 large files
18 regular files 2 directories 0 character device files 0 block device files 0 fifos 0 links 1 symbolic links (1 fast symbolic links) 0 sockets -------- 21 files
it seems correct, isn't it? I've tried also to dd to /dev/null and it worked well:
16002+0 records in
16002+0 records out

any idea? Thanks, Luca
