Hi, I m using RHEL 5. I often facing problem that repair file system, when i change some setting in fstab or kernel. I tried so many commands (like fsck /dev/hda) but I m not sure that what command should I provide this time. Please guide me.

You need to run fsck against a partition, not an entire drive. You need to use a command like:

fsck /dev/hda$

where $ is the number of the partition which you want to repair.

See:
man fsck
