Oh fsck

[MandK_10]

I am running Slackware 8.0 and when I turned the machine this morning I get a "/dev/hda1 has been mounted 20 times without a check" it proceeds to force a check and the check errors out with signal 11.

I boot into single user mode and run e2fsck -v -y /dev/hda1 and I get
Pass 1:checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2:Checking directory structure
Pass 3:Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4:Checking reference counts
Pass 5:Checking group summary information
Segmentation fault.

I hope this is not telling me I have a bad drive.
How can I fix this?

I checked the other partitions and get the same thing. I have 5 partions,
hda1 /
hda2 /home
hda3 <swap>
hda5 /usr
hda6 /usr/local

try it with the -f -p options
force and repair

You should read the man page on fsck, it will give you much better info.

Alright. I have been busy all morning and I am at work now. So I will try this later.

Just so I can be ready, what are the chances that this means my disk is bad?

Final followup

I used e2fsck with -f -p options and it fixed the problem. I haven't checked everything yet but it seems that the system is still OK.

Thanks for all the help.
