I thought ur facing issues with your root file system. The file system that ur facing issues won't be mounted in runlevel 1 right?. Can you run the same command for the device that is mounted to /ora_za3 Thanks, Krishnaprasad -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Martini Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 9:26 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: fsck ext3 I can't do that because the root file system is mounted in run level 1 and it says WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Or, is it ok to run it even though it's mounted. Did you mean boot from a CD rom? Dave.
