hda5 duplicate blocks. What to do as superuser?


Hi,
I got a message like this after unproper shutdown, Im starting with Linux, and Im not sure what I should do to fix this as superuser.
Thanks

/dev/hda5 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/dev/hda5: Duplicate or bad block in use!
/dev/hda5: Duplicate blocks found... invoking duplicate block passes.
Pass 1B: Rescan for duplicate/bad blocks
/dev/hda5: Duplicate/bad block(s) in inode 20849:/dev/hda5:
84238/dev/hda5:
84238/dev/hda5:
/dev/hda5: Pass 1C: Scan directories for inodes with dup blocks.
/dev/hda5: Pass 1D:Reconciling duplicate blocks

/dev/hda5:
/dev/hda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)

Give root password for maintenance

from here log in as your root password and run '/sbin/fsck.ext3 /dev/hda5' let it fix any problems and then restart the system correctly

I'm taking it for granted that you're running the ext3 file system if not you can run 'e2fsck -p /dev/hda5' if your running ext2 file system
