File system error

[rewted_bawx]

Hello, I installed Rh7.0 last night with a workstation install, then I re did it in server and found server had no "gnome" or "kde" so I did custom and it worked fine the first time. but then when I rebooted it starts to check everythign and gets to root file system check and then it goes

/1 file system has errors: force checked> and it goes and scans something.

then it say's

"Inode 964810 has imagic flag set"
"/1 unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually ( without -a or -p)"

then I enter root password and I get the shell, I try to start gnome but it say's it is locked and somethign about flags....

can anyone help me at all? I have never used anything but windows before so this is my first time using a *unix system.


ps, can anyone tell me where to get a list of supported NIC's? :confused:

This means that there is something gone wrong with the particular partition. Not the end of the world though.

Try this:
1)Enter Root password when prompted
2)at shell run "fsck /dev/hdxx" where xx is hard-drive and partion # (such as hda2 or hdb3, etc) It should tell you what partition it is scanning so just look for that info and put it in.
3)Follow the onscreen commands. I will say that I dont know too much about filesystem struction and/or hard-drive structure. I just enter the default values for each question that it prompts me with.

That "should" work. Should being the keyword here. That is about all I know on this subject.

Good Luck :D

Like it says, you need to run fsck manually. :eek:

Give your root password and you should be in a shell so that you can command:

fsck /dev/whatever

or

e2fsck /dev/whatever

See man fsck and man e2fsck (e2 for extended Linux partitions) for details.
