do a telinit 1, umount /dev/hda5, e2fsck -c -C 0 -f -v /dev/hda5, reboot if you run e2fsck several times and there are errors again and again, maybe even each time on different blocks, I would suggest backing up and buying a new disk...
that should do the trick (at least for the good blocks on your disk) and _please_, dont send html in emails :-/ hth, &rw On Sun, 09 Jan 2000 15:01:32 +0100, "Fam.
