Hmm, okeis, Makes me wonder, how much space do you waste on such a setup to make it accept the constant bloating of software? I don't waste much space at all, since I keep the filesystems around 85% full or so and extend on demand. and with todays harddrives, even if it costs me a couple of GiB here and there, it isn't an issue at all. -- Terje -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yes, that's curious :-). Nowadays I noticed that I often replace Gb with Mb in my mind :). Sorry.

[gentoo-user] Filesystem couldn't be fixed?
Hello! Today my ext3 filesystem had gone 30 days w/o checking and check was forced :). When the checking process ended, it said something usual about fragmentation and number of blocks, and then: * Filesystem couldn't be fixed [!!] And this is the only error message I can see. What does this mean and where can I look for error that occured? Any kind of log? Syslog starts later so I can't rely on /var/log/*. Upon the next reboot, all goes okay, e2fsck says that FS is clean. Same result if I issue e2fsck /dev/hda4 command manually. How can I catch this nasty error now? No strange noises from HDD, no read/write problems, but this is second time I get this error. Anyone had something like this? TIA, Dmitry. -- Gentoo Linux 2.4.20 #1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Filesystem couldn't be fixed?
This is a bug. #emerge rsync #emerge -UDp world Upgrade to baselayout 1.8.6.10-r1 and the next time your root file system is checked/modified, gentoo will just reboot instead of giving this confusing error message. Some other very nice fixes in baselayout too! On Sun, 2003-09-14 at 12:03, Dmitry Suzdalev wrote: Hello! Today my ext3 filesystem had gone 30 days w/o checking and check was forced :).

I should notice that my RAM work quite well -- hadn't any problems with it. But still maybe I should check it. As I use encrypted disks the livecd's won't do it (normally thats a great recovery though) so instead i choose to edit the bootcommand in grub and add: init=/bin/sash this will give you a ReadOnly mounted / , and nothing started. at this time do fsck -f /dev/hda3 (assuming hda3 is your root partition) And wait. wait wait and wait ;) Well, not so long :). I have only one 40MB root partition. Check completes in about 5-10 minutes. Thanks for pointers.
