Hi,

CVS started complaining at me about file permissions, an "ls -l" in the
offending directory gave me:

After various "su", "rm *", "rm -f" etc. I can get it down to:

?--xr-s--x 25955 8236     25441    4294967295 Oct 29  2024 elvenforest.p
?--Srwx-wt 17746 2313     20294    4294967295 Jun 22  2010 excalibur.p
?--x-wxrwt 29537 20303    25964    4294967295 Feb  5  1988 frost.p
c--xr--r-- 8295 31074    28265    115,  32 Apr  4  1987 holygrail.p

I can't delete these files:

# rm -f elvenforest.p 
rm: cannot unlink `elvenforest.p': Operation not permitted

If I umount home and do an fsck I get:

# fsck /home
Parallelizing fsck version 1.17 (26-Oct-1999)
e2fsck 1.17, 26-Oct-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/hda4 has gone too long without being checked, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Inode 703, i_size is 4096, should be 28672.  Fix<y>? 

There is no cruical data on the disk which isn't backed up.

Should I tell fsck to fix or it?

Is my disk on the way out, should I replace it? If so, does anyone have
a small
hard disk (~ 3GB) which they would be willing to sell?

Thanks,

Allan
