Hi there, my server was running strait for 8 month now. I did updates regularly but still used an 2.6.2x kernel. Never switched it of. Now someone from houskeeping pulled the plug for the vacuum cleaner ...
Anyway the box won't boot anymore. grub starts up. Kernel boots. Then there is checking root file system (or something like that).The message is that my ext2 file system can not be read. That I might want to try the alternativ superblock by running #e2fsck -b 8193 <device> Well, I put the hdd in an external usb and conected it to my workstation. As I thought hda3 (is /dev/sde3) is an ext3 filesystem. Also badblocks and e2fsck did not show any problem with the hdd. /etc/fstab is corect (i hope), too. What am I missing? How can I get the server running, again? Regards kh
