Topic: Root contains a file system with errors, check forced. :(((

[Jacob F]

I'm a E-smith newbie, so please help me

Someone did not shut my server proporly down. And now when I'm starting it, it says:

Unattached Inode 32273

Afterwards I can write my admin-password to get access to at shell or I can press control + D to restart.
When I restart the server, the same message is there again.

PLEASE HELP. I've got pretty much important data on the server

You will need to run fsck on the problem drive/partition. After you get shell access type fsck followed by the partition or drive (probably hda). There is probably some more information on the screen that tells you to ru fsck with a switch. The command will be something like:

fsck -a /dev/hda (and maybe a number after hda i.e. hda6)

Good luck.

You might want to read up on fsck. Type man fsck at the command prompt.
