Ok, I 've really screwed the pooch on my RH ES3 server. The / partition filled up somehow and I used partition commander to modify the partition sizes around a little to give / more free space. well this screwed up a every partition that was touched. I've finally got the system to boot and mount everything again but now I'm having problems all over the place with software. The /usr partition was screwed up royally and I used e2fsck to fix that but problems persist. when I try to run a perl script i wrote as a nagios plugin i get the following... perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
