My Great Linux System Repair Adventure
Thunder storms in the Blue Ridge Mountains can come fast. That's why my main Linux desktop system was still up when one, two, three lightning bolts slammed near my home. Thus began my Great Linux System Repair Adventure.
Despite no fewer than three power surge protectors, including a master power protector for the entire house, just enough of a surge hit my Insignia 300a, an older Best Buy house-brand desktop PC with a 2.8GHz Pentium IV, GB of RAM, and an Ultra ATA/100 60GB hard drive, running SLED 10 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop).
At first, everything looked OK. Then I began getting odd disk errors and programs started misbehaving. So, I used that master tool of all Linux/Unix file repair, fsck, to see what was wrong with my drive.
