Something really strange happened to my FC3 server running ext3 a few days ago. It logged a "journal commit I/O error" and things started getting screwy. The system isn't frozen, but my man pages are gone and I can't get "ls" to show me anything. I tried running fsck last night and got the following response: [root@bender ~]# fsck fsck 1.36 (05-Feb-2005) e2fsck 1.36 (05-Feb-2005) /: recovering journal fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to re-open / e2fsck: io manager magic bad! Then this morning, while typing up this message I tried fsck again and got: [root@bender ~]# fsck fsck 1.36 (05-Feb-2005) fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=/' I'm in way over my head here. Is there any way for me to fix my file system, either using fsck or with Knoppix, or should I just backup as much data as I can and reinstall the OS? And just as important, does anyone know how this might have happened in the first place? By the way, "ls" doesn't work for root, but it does work for other users. Thanks, Pete S.
