Hello List This seems very very BAD! If someone could help me through, it would be very much appreciated (understatement). I'm running f10 under gnome with a recent (couple of days ago) yum update. I was followed the instructions for setting the media defaults under new nautilus media tab here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485037#c1 I then went to the "Removable Drives and Media" under System > Preferences > Hardware to conform my old settings there with what I'd just done (above). The window opened but didn't complete it's draw - instead the display froze and there was frantic harddrive activity for some time - I went away and brushed my teeth... Came back to find everything settled - except there was no longer any wireless connection. I attempted to connect to my local network, but the connection couldn't be made - dropped back out as soon as the connection began to be established. OK, reboot... There were an number of "failed" as the system went down... ... ... On reboot I had filesystem errors that fsck refused to pass. Instead it invited me to run fsck manually and dropped me down to a boot prompt. I ran fsck -AC and this is what I got (abridged): Inode 385125 has EXTENTS_FL flag set on filesystem without extents support. Clear <y>? yes Inode 385126 has extra size (22943) which is invalid Fix<y>? yes Inode 385136 has imagic flag set. Clear<y>? yes Inode 385123 has compression flag set on filesystem without compression support. Clear<y>? yes Inode 385123 has INDEX_FL flag set but is not a directory Clear HTree index<y>? yes Inode 385123, i_size is 3426050370232693628, should be 0. Fix<?> yes Inode 385123, i_block is 21512961606650, should be 0. Fix<?> yes ... ... ... Other similar dialogue followed for 385122, 385136, 385127 and 385126 ... ... ... Then for 467729 to 745, and back to 467738, 467740, 467741, 467743 ... ... ... Then for 472689 to 472704 ... ... ... Then for 472732 to 472736, and on to 472769 to 472784 Checks for that first file system completed and moved on to the next file system. Similar progress to the above was made, except absolute file names were given in brackets for the inode numbers, so: Inode 472696 (/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0.2203.0) is an illegal character device. Clear<?> yes ... ... ... And, so it went on... When finished I rebooted... And, low - my system gets down to about starting nmbd before various start-ups fail for missing files. Once through the start-up gnome attempts to start, but fails with continuous restarts. I can't open a terminal on tty2, 3, 4, etc. And, I can only shutdown by pressing the power switch - which triggers an ordered shutdown. I ran a back up of the /home and /etc a few days ago - but, I've done work since... I don't back up the rest of the system. Can anyone help me get my system back up please. It's 12.15 midnight here, so I won't be back for a few hours.
