My hard disk seems to have become trashed, not letting me write anything, and displaying "Validating" under the status field of info output (and I assume that means it failed while validating, not that it's actually doing anything right now). So is there anything I can do besides copying everything somewhere else and re-formatting (or something?) the partition. I don't want to reformat because that takes a very long time... Is there a fsck or something out there? This happened when I rebooted during a compile-- apparently the lattice 5.01 patches have some nasty bugs that lead to infinite compiles... Thanks, -Miles
