Re: superblock corrupted
hi this is very interesting...The same thing happened to me. I upgraded to the new e2fsprogs package and the mount,and friends. Then when the fsck checked 3 of my 4 ext2 filesystems because they reached maximal mount count, everything was ok. The next boot and i had a kernel panic on my hands. Is there something wrong with the new packages ? regards omicron On Fri, 20 Apr 2001, Philipp Lehman wrote: > On Fri, 20 Apr 2001, Philipp Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I have a serious problem with what seems to be a superblock corruption > >on /dev/hda3. > > I fixed it.

dpkg help
hi i've libc6 2.2.4-* and i want to upgrade from the old to the new. I dont have a very fast net connection so i've to download it to some other place and then trasfer it here. i also have most of the dependencies and "recommended" packages of libc6. I've kept them in a directory /misc/tmp. What tool should i use to install them ? If i use dpkg, what should be the --refuse-things flag so that if in case there is any error, a good package is not deleted ( i say this because, when i tried to upgrade libdb3, it removed libdb.so.3 and failed most of programs ). is this ok ? dpkg -i --refuse-conflicts,dependencies,remove-essential,downgrade -E -R /misc/tmp/ Thanks in advance regards omicron ** omicron Mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sridhar N) www:omicron.symonds.net pubkeys:omicron.symonds.net/pubkeys C O G I T O E R G O S U M ~~~
