Next time you want to check a filesystem ... shutdown now -Fr #reboots, forces filesystemcheck (e2fsck in your case) on reboot BEFORE mounting as you shouldn't repair mounted filesystems. That's what the warning was. df will show you a listing of total/used/available space on all 'mounted filesystems df -h will put it into 'human readable' form I hope that you haven't clobbered any valuable files Craig
