Hello,

The electricity got cut suddenly. So result on Debian:
"fsck died with exit status 6"

The / is there

so I rebooted several time using

Code:

touch /forcefsck

The harddisk all are clean but linux prompt admin and says:
"fsck died with exit status 6"

Any ideas how to go further ?

Boot from CD and fsck the hard drive partitions

boot from livecd,NEVER mount your partition.run with root sudo user privilage "fsck -fvy /dev/sdx" where "x" is the partition you want to fsck.

Is possible to fsck the whole partitions that exists ?
I have JFS, FAT32, and EXT4.

with a live cdrom:
Somethnig like

Code:

fdisk -l | grep /dev| while read i ; do fsck -fvy $i ; done ; reboot

something like that (with a sed), will fsck check if it is a JFS or whatever, adapt, and clean the problems automatically.

But why :
without live cd:

Code:

cd /root ; touch /forcefsck

is not sufficient?
what is it going on actually? before it was never doing that under sarge or etch.
