Dear all,
Attentive viewers will notice that I'm using
Outlook Express. Well, I switched the machine on earlier and got loads of
error messages during boot-up. All related to hda11 which is my /home
directory. I caught a glimpse of one of them which said something like
hda11 has a faulty(?) filesystem, and at the bottom...
/dev/hda11 unexpected inconsistency; RUN fsck
manually
(i.e.,
without -a or -p options)
failed
/sbin/init.d/kbd: /usr/bin/find
does not exist. Exit
fsck failed. Please repair manually and
reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To
remount it read-write do:
bash# mount -n -o
remount,rw /
.. and then
it informed me that only CONTROL & D would reboot the system and to log on
as root.
I'd been away for a week, but can't remember doing
anything other than my usual fiddling about, obviously I've done something, but
what? And how do I rescue /home ? I've been a bit slack and haven't
got back-ups of some stuff that I really, really don't want to have to
format. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Harvey
