Forced Root Filesystem Check
Hey,
I rebooted my system (by accident ) and when I start it it does the system shut down uncleanly thing. I do the check and it forces a check of the root file system.
It comes up with 7.9 % done and says
****************************************************
Error reading block 264761 (Attempt to read block resulted in short read)
****************************************************
Sorry, but I am the epitomy of a newbie, all I know is my root password. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
