filesystem problem

filesystem problem

[daniel sheltraw]

Hello kernel

I am having a fsck problem and do not know how to solve it most
effectively.  I am running 2.2.14 (Redhat 6.2). When booting I
get the following message:

Checking root filesystem /dev/hda5 contains a file system with errors,
   check forced.
/dev/hda5
Unattached inode 198516

/dev/hda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. (ie., without
        -a or -p options)

Can someone please tell me how to use fsck to fix this
filesystem problem? Also if you know of a better place to
post such questions (kernel development list hardly seems
appropriate) would you please tell me where.



Thanks,
Daniel

Err... sorry. Didn't check before posting. That's kernel hacking related
stuff, not appropriate. Go to linuxnewbies.org for help on stuff like
that.
