Hi, I just launched e2fsck -c /dev/hdb1 on my hard drive and have this result this morning. I know that this hardrive was deficient this week-end, I just want to know more. But is the result good or bad ? I dunno ;-) e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done 040 Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information root: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** root: 11/9781248 files (9.1% non-contiguous), 353056/19537040 blocks Thanks for your help, Philippe -- Philippe, Chiangmai, Thailand May The Source Be With You
