root dimension albert]# df -T
Filesystem    Type   1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6     ext3    41871696   4002116  35742576  11% /

[root dimension albert]#

	So hda3 is vfat?  (whatever that is)

	Then I did 2efsck (whith a 'k' not 'h')
	But hda3 seemed to be mounted! So I got this warning

[root dimension albert]# e2fsck /dev/hda3
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
/dev/hda3 is mounted.

WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no

check aborted.
[root dimension albert]#

	Then I unmounted hda3 and I did e2fsck again:


Mandrake 9.0: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Mandrake 9.0: 161550/5439488 files (0.7% non-contiguous),

[root dimension albert]# umount /dev/hda3
[root dimension albert]# e2fsck /dev/hda3
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
Mandrake 9.0 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Free blocks count wrong for group #0 (0, counted=19).
Fix<y>? yes

	Then there was a VERY long list of free blocks count wrong, I 	fixed
them as suggested by the system.  Finally I got:

Mandrake 9.0: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Mandrake 9.0: 161550/5439488 files (0.7% non-contiguous),
1208726/10855923 blocks
[root dimension albert]# e2fsck /dev/hda3
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Mandrake 9.0: clean, 161550/5439488 files, 1208726/10855923 blocks
[root dimension albert]#

	Then I mounted it to /mnt/hda3 again
	WhenI di:d ls -l /mnt/hda3, 
	I got the same, strange looking, file list.
