[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux box crash...revisited...ACHH

[Wayne Dahl]

I left an error message out of the last message...here's how it SHOULD 
be...what I actually got...

When I went to start up this box, as it was checking the filesystems, it 
gets an error...

"/usr contains a filesystem with errors, check forced.
  /usr: Entry 'local' in / (2) has an incorrect filetype (was 2, should be 1)

It continues checking the rest of the filesystems and everything checks 
clean except /usr...then I get this message.

"/usr: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.  (i.e., without -a or 
-p options)
*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** When you leave the shell
Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal startup):"

After typing in the root password, I get this...

"bash id: command not found
  bash id: command not found
  bash id: command not found
[: too many arguments
(Repair filesystem) 1 #"

Ok...now, at this point, I attempt to run fsck this way....

"(Repair filesystem) 1 # fsck -t ext3 (and I think this is where I'm going 
wrong) /dev/hda5"

Ok...this may make a little more sense with that other error message in 
there.  When I look at /etc/fstab as Ryan suggested, here's the line for 
/usr...

LABEL=/usr		/usr		ext3	defaults		1 2

Does this look right?  It seems to match most of the other entries for the 
other partitions.
