It's ext2 and I've run
e2fsck -cfv /dev/hda2
on it. I carelessly forgot to make a note of the corrections
made by e2fsck (there was at least one), and I suppose I've
deleted something.
I've never found anything with dmesg that looks amiss, but the
boot procedure regularly throws up
Special (device/socket/fifo) inode 17601 has non-zero size
and insmod always complains of not being able to write to the
/var/log/ksymoops directory because it's read-only, although
that directory does get written to liberally every time. I've
tried repeatedly to understand what ksymoops is all about, but
it's all above my head.
Is there a way of checking that all the files that were
installed with all the packages are still there? Or is that a
stupid question?
I'd be grateful for any help.
David
