Hey everyone! I am now to this board and am really "dumb" when it comes to Linux.

Normally one of my tech guys take care of problems, but they are away right now and I have a problem now.

Here is the run down...

Okay, our city had a huge storm last night and I was out of town. We are on a 40 minute UPS system, but I guess that just wasn't enough last night. It is very rare that it goes out longer than 40 minutes..

So, now when I try and boot the Linux (Red Hat 6.2 I think) I get an error that reads like this:

Unattached inode 67854

It tells me to run fsck manually and I tried, that failed also. I search the board for my error message and there was only a couple topics on it and neither of the suggestions fixed my problem...

When I type this:

fsck /dev/hd8

I get this error message:

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is currupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

And when I try this:

e2fsck /dev/hd8 -v

I get the same error.

Mainly, I get the same error, no matter what I try....

I would really appreciate some help as soon as possible!! I am really stuck and can't get ahold of anyone around here.

I appreciate any help! :D
