Re: [expert] ML9.0: Fresh install, found one file 2 GB big, "e2fsck-f -c /dev/hda2" returns errors:

Hi,

"[root@mycom root]# e2fsck -f -c /dev/hda2
e2fsck 1.26 (3-Feb-2002)
/dev/hda2 is mounted.
WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes

You did not remount your /dev/hda2 read-only, then you said yes when it warned you, this most likely caused the problem. Reboot into single user mode and do it them

mount -o remount,ro /

this might not work if you have active processes runining, so kill off any that give problems.

Or you could put this code in your rc.sysinit before your system really starts I guess.

Cheers
