 Posted: Sat Aug 26, 2006 3:27 pm Post subject: Something wrong with root filesystem |
 |
|
Last night I did an emerge -u php and it went okay. Well it said I needed to update my /etc/ so I did a something-etc I can't remember what command my friend told me to do, but it updated it. Well I did poweroff and it powered off my computer for the night. This morning i turn it on, and it goes throughall the mounting things with the [ ok ] after it. It goes okay all the way up till it gets to Checking root filesystem ... Here is what I get then:
| Quote: |
*Checking root filesystem ...
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda3
/dev/hda3:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or usf or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
*filesystem couldn't be fiexd : (
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

Hello.. that "etc" command you run was etc-update right?
did it touch the /etc/fstab file?
check it just in case..
and when booting when it askes you for the root password for manteinance give it and run
and see if it fixes it... may be u have a corrupted superblock.. in that case
| Code: |
# mke2fs -n /dev/hdaX ( X is the root partition)
this will tell you where are the copies of the superblock
# e2fsck -b "block where a copy of the superblock is" /dev/hdaX
|
that should fix the superblock.. sorry about the messy explanation but english is not my first language
