Sorry, dropped the "1" when copying theerror message (must have left numlock
off)

/dev/hdc1 holds the /home dir

No, my config is /dev/hda for the first HD, /dev/hdb for the CDRom reader,
and /dev/hdc for the second HD
I was also honoured by a missive from Richard Adams, that said :
> You make no mention to what work you have done or undone.?
What I have done:
Took the computer apart to re-seat the memory chips, change failed cpu cooler
and upgrade the video card.
On reassembly, I put the IDE cable to the wrong connector (mixed primary and
secundary interfaces) and got a "no system" error when rebooting.
I unmixed them, tried to reboot again and get a message:
Checking filesystems
/dev/hda2 clean
/dev/hdc1 inode count in superblock is 65920 should be263368
/dev/hdc1 UNEXPECTED INCONSTISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
and when I do that I get
e2fsck: Bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/hdc1
Try e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I have tried the other superblock adresses (1 + N x 8192) with no better
results ;-(
fdisk -l /debv/hdc1 shows the partition with the size it should have.
I have commented out the /dev/hdc1 partition in /etc/fstab; system starts OK
then; I can manually mount /dev/hdc1, the /home/mag dir is shown, but is
locked/inaccessible even to root.
Any more advice ?
