Boot into runlevel 1 and then fix the bad block using the following command e2fsck -y /dev/sdxx where sdxx is your root file system partition.. Thanks, Krishnaprasad -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Martini Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 10:28 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: fsck ext3 One of my est3 file systems went into read only mode. Does this usually mean the drive is going bad? When I umounted and the mounted it again it said to run fsck manually. I did but keep getting the Illegal block in inode messages below. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks. Dave. #fsck -v /u02 fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Resize inode not valid.
