R.I.P

[john <johnjl@ihug.co.nz>]

Well it looks like i may just have to accept microsmurfdom. :-).
My debian partition has gone and r--ted itself somehow.
I shutdown last time using shutdown -r 0 back into win95 then later tried
to access it and ouch.

I recieved the following.

Attempt to access beyond end of device 08:03:rw=0, want=1939953655,
limit=979965 EXT2-fs error (device08:03): ext2_find_entry: bad entry in
directory rec_len % 4 !=0-offset=8192, inode=3917106399, rec_len=31559
name_len=17389.
Parallelising fsck version 1.10 24 april-97.

Newby running Debian 1.3.1 , 2.1Gb UW IBM HDD from Adaptec 2940UW.
what happened ,this in fact happened once before but i assumed i screwed up
with a utility which supposedly gave acces to linux in win95. This is the
2nd time in 2 months <sigh> i kinda like the system, and am keen to
continue, but this is putting me off. It has been running great except for
these blowouts ???
.
Any advice apreciated. Contemplating my next move. Whether to try again or
just stick with ughh.

Thanx in advance.

John Leget
