Kernal update messed with superblock on my mounted EXT3 drive
 

Hello all
I had a problem with the last kernel update for my fedora 7.

on my box i have 2 drives that are mount on boot in the fstab as /hdb1 and /hdd1. after this last kern update, when the system rebooted it stopped and said

attempt to read block from file system resulted in short read while checking ext3 journal.

and then stopes and asks for password to enter file system repair mode


anyone experiance this and how do i go about fixing this?

When the startup asks you for the password then enter the password for the root account. That will put you in the root account at the console. Then you simply start fsck on the two partitions.

Also: it's not K E R N A L but rather K E R N E L.

Well thanks for pointing that out.....dont know how i could go on in life without knowing, thanks junkie for you help .....it worked fine.

My guess is you'd go in life like your usual sillyself. This is the thanks I get for pointing out one of your mistakes. I dislike this forum
