[Riley, Liz (ACHE)]

Did you edit the fstab which is what it was complaining about and I
explained?

Dear Linux users

In continuation of my yesterday email I tryed to do what it was
suggested to fix my error in file system check as follows:

a) first i did fdisk -l to see the partions in my hard disk I identified
the partitions /dev/hdg1  and /dev/hdg2  with fstype ext3 and
/dev/gdg3 with fstype swap.
Then
b) I run e2fsck -b 8193  /dev/hdg1 and e2fsck -b 8193  /dev/hdg2

However when I reboot the maschine I still had the same error message.

I also tryed alternatively the following to repair the file system

b) I run e2fsck -p -f /dev/hdg1 and e2fsck -p -f /dev/hdg2

Still the problem remains and I do not know how to overcome this
problem.
I look forward for any hints.

With kind regards
Prodromso Zanis
