I am gradually getting desperate. Almost every time I turn on my linux box e2fsck finds massive errors. Often times somewhere under /usr/lib/terminfo. I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. I always shutdown my system with a proper shutdown or halt command.
Here is a short description of my setup: I am using 2 x 2GB Quantum SCSI HDs. On the first there is a Win95, a Win3.11 partition and 2 FAT data partitions. At the very end of this HD there is the OS/2 Boot Manager. On the second HD, there is another Win 3.11 partition (primary partition) and the root, var and swap partitions for Linux. /home is a link to /var/home, /usr is on the root partition. Hm, did I forget anything important? Oh, yes, I've got the Debian 1.2.4 distribution installed. At first, I thought that Win95 is the reason for this behavior, but in the meantime I found that I get these errors even if I didn't boot any other OS in between. So there must be something else wrong. Two days ago it became even worse: I got fs errors while the system was running. All kinds of bad message appeared in my console. I wanted to save them so I could tell you the exact words here, but all I got was "Cannot save, fatal fs errors" or something similar. :-( Please help, I have no idea how to fix this! Thanks so much in advance, Andy. ____________________________________________________________________ Andy Spiegl, PhD Student, Technical University, Muenchen, Germany E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.appl-math.tu-muenchen.de/~spiegl PGP fingerprint: B8 48 24 7B DB 96 6F 1C D9 6D 8E 6C DB C2 E7 E9 o _ _ _ --------- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) ------- _`\<,_ _`\<,_ _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ ------ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
