Hi all I use Dapper at the present.
On the weekend I was copying images from my DSLR (common event) to my machine using Digikam. I was running a few other things and suddenly the whole system froze. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace didn't work. Nor did Alt-Shift-sysrq-S-U-B. So I held in the power button and turned off the machine. A restart was fine indicated some checking going on (I can't recall unfortunately what the message was but kept a copy of the 'messages' file). Then just a short while ago, I was deleting a file and I got a message along the lines of not being able to access /home/patrick/.kde/config/<name of file>. Then I couldn't download an e-mail, with a message along the lines of having a full HDD (I've got 10s of Gigs left as can be seen at bottom). I could not work out what to do, so I tried to restart X - this only shut me out of using either Desktop (Gnome or the usual KDE). So I selected to shut down the machine. Then waited a for a minute and restarted. I then got a message saying: /dev/hda2 clean /dev/hda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced. I allowed this to run to it's conclusion. Along the way I got a message saying: Deleted inode 3342344 has zerod dtime. Fixed. Then everything seemed to go well with the rest of the drive being checked. I'm pretty much at a loss (google wasn't too much help - could be me) Could someone please provide me with some information about what this may mean? The drive is only about 14 months old and the motherboard about a year older. Many thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
