Ignore <y> Maybe that's what happened to me - I completely hosed my hard drive and had to rebuild from backups a few days ago... (my system went out of control, and when I restarted, fsck found a massive amount of errors - so many that my system was unusable after I fixed it). The drive that died was all in one 2.5GB partition. I've since repartitioned it, and I no longer have any partitions > 2 GB. I'm not 100% certain that was the problem (I've had corruption problems previously - until I turned off LBA and 32-bit mode) - but if fsck was broken - that couldn't have helped. This also explains why I haven't uploaded any packages this week. :-( Cheers, - Jim
