Troubles with inodes

[corban dallas]

Hi, my kub doesn't started yesterday, so many messages about filesystem errors, inodes errors. Fsck can't repair them. What's problem i have? Thanks. I hope is it not damage hd started...

Yeah, that's either serious filesystem corruption or a hard drive failing.

Time to back up your data, and then figure out how you're going to test that hard drive to see if you can verify that its a candidate for the dumpster.

If you have time, one thing you could do is re-partition it, re-format it, and install Kubuntu again, and then work with it to see if it starts spewing those errors again. Probably it will.

Sorry.

Try what dibl said, and try it with, as you say, ext3 (not ext2). See if it helps. I've experienced 2 cases where it cleared things up for me. (journaling, self-checking, etc.)
