Thanks for the reply, In single user mode it didn't get stuck and it looks like it repaired some things. In the /usr, /home and /var filesystems "lost+found" directories were created with some files in them. Also a "fsck_snapshot"-file was created in /home/.snap/ Now I'm curious what to do with the files in the lost+found directories; can I delete them safely or do I have to do something with it? Are the filesystems really repaired and ok again or will the system crash some day because some files are still broken? The system works again but I'm not very confident it stays this way. I'm thinking of installing 4.10-R again. Marco -- "When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut."
