Hi all,
I have a question about the difference between fsck in /usr/bin and
the one on the Minix 1.3 boot disk. When I boot up, I choose "h"
from the initial menu, and check one of my Minix partitions (/dev/hd6).
This results in all sorts of problems, mostly having to do with bad
inodes.
Sample message:
bad inode found in directory / (ino = 1, ino found = 14385, name = '00,
"):?pu'). remove entry?
I usually get about ten or so of these. I have not chosen "y". I then
continue the boot procedure successfully. When I get into Minix as
root, I do a "fsck -r /dev/hd6". This does not result in any errors.
In fact, the filesystem seems to be working fine, without corrective
action.
Does anyone know why fsck is reporting differently to me?
Thanks,
