Hi Mr. Roth,
I fixed my problem. I was going to painfully reinstall, but when I
booted from the cd, I was able to see the filesystem (ext3). I decided
to take a chance
and umount each filesystem and do an fsck on each one. The / is the one
that was in bad shape. Lost inodes, lost packets belonging to inodes,
stuff I'd
never heard of before. I did an fsck and in about 40 minutes the
filesystem was repaired and I was able to do a reboot and get the system
back up. Can
I ask you why the filesystem didn't repair when it asked me from the
single user before bringing up the filesystem, just the kernel
controller? Also, I
checked the logs and it seems like the trouble started when ypxfrd and
ypbind went down. That doesn't make sense to me. Well, at least I can
go to
the summit and not worry about it. Many thanks for answering me, I
really really appreciate your help.

I have an IBM array box running RHE AS 4 with the kernel 2.6.9-42. This
box has been down for almost 2 weeks. I had to do a filesystem rebuild, and
then a filesystem repair. I could not finish the repair because it was
going on 3 days of repairing. I don't think this is unusual because the
box is a total
of 1.5 terabytes. Anyway, I've run all the hardware diagnostics and
come up with everything passing these tests. IBM wants me to run an
ibm.iso to

First question: what filesystem (ext2,3, reiser, xfs,?). Second, there is a "do it all without prompting" switch.
mark "good luck...."
