No i guess its Linux, bcus of fsck.
If ur OS is Redhat(redhat8 or 9 i guess?)
all u need is to enter ur root passwd at that error prompt,
then run the command: fdisk -l
check the /dev/hdax that is for the / (root) directory.

now run: fsck /dev/hdax

answer yes yes to any Q's, u shld be able to recover it!

Let s know whats up :?:

i'm using linux fedora, it's booting to some extent. u know when linux boots if a particular programe starts it will display OK, but this time around it reaches a point that says Failed in red and brings out the message i wrote above and asks for maintenance password. i put it and tried to repair the file. it brought out one question, do u want to repair thie file, i said yes, that's all it went to no #2. i restarted it yet it stoped at the same place.
thanks.

Ok DJ,
Do u know your root patition?
after u put maint passwd, run: fdisk -l
Note ==> -l (- small L)

check for the partition thats you root patition, and run fsck on that patition.

Hey.
since ur filesystem is reiserfs and that partition is a SCSI device partition block, u will need to use the
reiserfsck -y /dev/sda2
that should fix the problem but do it from the single-user mode
u can check this link as well.

Hey.
u can login in to linux single mode by:
1. at ur LILO boot loader prompt, pass the "linux single" to the kernel
or
2. if u are using GRUB loader, press 'e' to edit the loader options, choose the line that contains 'kernel' and press 'e' again, at the shell, type 'single' at the end of that line, then press enter and press 'b' to boot into the single mode. or
3. if the system prompt u to press CTRL+D to enter administrative mode, when fsck fails, type ur root password and u can now fix ur partition using the
reiserfsck -y /dev/sda2
if that fails to solve the problem , then type reiserfsck -y --fix-fixable /dev/sda2

that shud solve the problem since it gave an error signal code 6 which means the partition can still be fixed.

all the best
