hi, this box has had far too many hard reboots, but can anyone shed some
light on whether this's inconsistent? i boot into single user mode,
everything is mounted read-only,
run fsck and fix all the partitions. rerunning fsck shows no more problems.
mounting the filesystems and running fsck shows no problems. but when
i reboot into normal mode,
where everything is mounted read-write for normal use
and run fsck on these 2 particular partitions:
(and rebooting into single user mode again doesn't help).
You cannot fsck a read-write mounted filesystem. The kernel is using it and
will be in a state where fsck will think it has errors. Umount the filesystem
first, check it then. Αlternatively you can snapshot it, and fsck -n the_snapshot
HTH, Nikos
