[sclug] Need help! I had a power cut!!

[alan pearson]

First rule of sys admin,
Check the obvious !
What has changed?

A) Power cut !

I would fsck very thoroughly indeed,using the special
flags (if there are any) for your fs.

I would use the --rebuild-tree option for reiserfs as
I've seen my reiserfs partition get corrupted, and
normal fsck says all is fine.


Hope you get it sorted out.
