Hi

I am new with linux and I recently had an unwanted shutdown
now when I tried to reboot linux red hat it gives me the following msg:

Your system appears to have shutdown uncleanly
Press y to integrate filesystems check
checking root filesystem

/: Inodes that were part of corrupted orphan linked list found.

/: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)

*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):

so I entered the root password and then I type "fsck"
following by "reboot" but it does not solve the problem because it goes back to
"Your system appears to have shutdown uncleanly" and so on....

i do not really understand what is happing ...

and also, i try to get the disk status by command 'df -h'
all the drive disk size, disk used , avail & use % is same.

Mounted On
/dev/sda2 146G 5.3G 133G 4% /
/dev/sda1 146G 5.3G 133G 4% /boot

it is impossible.

Who can help me to solve the problem , the system have important data.

thank you for you help

best regards

Hi!

If you have an ext2 filesystem and your linux is on the first partition of your hard disk:
e2fsck /dev/hda1 (not fsck)

By ext3 filesystem...I think:e3fsck /dev/hda1

Hope I could help. I know 10 linux commands so I'm very newb to , but it soloved my problem when I had the same of your.

cheers.

# Check ALL "Linux" partitions found in /etc/fstab

/sbin/fsck -CA
