After power was restored, the Centos machine came <br>> back up with a little help, but Ubuntu is reporting bad blocks.<br>> <br>> An error came up saying:<br>> /dev/hda1 UNEXPECTED INCONSTENCY ; RUN fsck MANUALLY<br>> (i.e. without -a or -p options)<br>> <br><br><br>One of those helpful error messages that actually tells you what to do!<br><br>Without knowing your fstab and so what /dev/hda1 mounts as, I'd suggest you boot using an Ubuntu CD then simply run:<br># umount /dev/sda1<br># fsck -Cy /dev/sda1<br><br>If you're in the Ubuntu CD you will be able to check the manpage before running these if you're concerned. For fsck, the -C is to display progress bar and the -y is to automatically fix stuff if required.<br><br>Good luck!<br></john.modec@xtra.co.nz></div></body></html>
