- Ok, I did the dastardly deed and forgot to sync and shutdown before I did
- a ctrl-alt-del sequence. Now... Everything seems to work ok, im not missing
- any files or at least I don't see any corruption. BUT efsck will not run on
- any partitions (I have several Linux partitions) as either root or a normal
- user. It just reports that it cant find the super block. Question is, how can
- I fix this situation? The file system seems ok, I was thinking about doing
- a backup and re-create the filesystems with mkefs. Is there a better way or
- different way which would be less work? Should I even worry about it at all
- as it seems that everything is working correctly anyhow? If I have to
- re-install Linux, I might just as well go with V1.0 when it comes out.
- Any helpfull thoughts would be welcome.
