Redhat 7.1 - Update no workee & Filesystem error

[Poontos]

Running RedHat 7.1.

GNOME locked up while trying to do some various tasks. Had to reset PC.

Message:
Give root password for maintenanace
(or type Control-D for normal startup):
(Repair filesystem) 1 #

I typed yes, y, ?, and nothing happens. So I am stuck at this prompt, as I would like to do a filesystem check/repair, but do not know how.

Addtionally, when I try the Update agent in GNOME, I am presented with an error that the free service is overloaded and to try another time. Anyway around this? I mean, you pay for RedHat up front and you need to update it and you have to pay again?

Thanks.

Try 'fsck /dev/hda1' (replace /dev/hda1 with the proper drive)

You have to pay for the 'premium' guaranteed update access, otherwise you fight for the anonymous slots with all the other freeloaders =)

<Mr. Burn's voice>Excellent!</>

Even from a shell prompt and not through the GUI? 🙂

type 'cat /etc/fstab' or 'mount'

Same server either way.

try fsck --help ...

just this and after the fsck is over just reboot to see if it's right ( it was supposed to ... )

move to ext3 then ... its less sensible ...
