Title: Abnormal Shutdown
Post by: Aharon on December 29, 2000, 07:23:32 AM

I am not a Linux power user, so I'm stuck!  Every time my server and gateway shuts down abnormally (e.g., a power failure), it never reboots.  It runs a check on the hard drive and comes up with file errors, and then instructs to run fsck MANUALLY.  What should I do at this point, and how can I get the system back up?  I've had to reinstall the software 4 times!
