Re: [expert] Broken Filesystem, but I fsck'ed it----
Do you know what file system you have? If it's ext2, use: e2fsck -f device The -f makes sure it runs the check. Sometimes the fsck program thinks the file system is clean on first check when it is not. For a ReiserFS partition, use: reiserfsck device Best of luck! -- Asheesh.

Require help with system not booting. The system drops me to a shell every time. OK, did you enter the fsck command at the shell prompt *without* any options? i.e., 'fsck /dev/hda1' or whatever?

Re: [expert] Broken Filesystem, but I fsck'ed it----
the very first time it ha[p[pebned, yes, then when that did not help is when I went with Well, if you do use options it does not work. That tripped me up the first time I had to manually fsck a partition -- in fact, that's what running fsck manually means. David E.
