I can't seem to subscribe as majordomo says: **** Your subscription request to freebsd was rejected. **** Your address must contain an "@" symbol. Not quite sure how else to subscribe, so anyway I thought I would send a question directly to the group. would you kindly respond directly to me as I won't see the threads in the list. Thanks. Anyway here's the situation; I had a power failure that I didn't catch right away, but it affected my BSD box, as I was rebooting the machine we incurred a second power failure, upon the third attempt to reboot, my system gives the following output: /dev/ad0s1a: FILESYSTEM CLEAN, SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/ad0s1a: clean, 22363 free (314 frags, 2756 blocks, 0.6% fragmentation) /dev/ad0s1f: FILESYSTEM CLEAN, SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/ad0s1f: clean, 10680773 free (34093 frags, 1330835 blocks, 0.3% fragmentation) /dev/ad0s1e: LINK COUNT DIR I=30 OWNER=root MODE=40755 /dev/ad0s1e: SIZE=512 MTIME=Apr 7 23:44 2001 COUNT 2 SHOULD BE 3 /dev/ad0s1e: LINK COUNT INCREASING /dev/ad0s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY, RUN fsck MANUALLY THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAS AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: /dev/ad0s1e: (/var) Automatic file system check failed......help! Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: I entered the /bin/csh for the shell and tried to bop around in there, but could find any files that I could use, i.e. pico, vi, couldn't find fsck. I'm booting into single user mode, but when I try to use fsck it tells me the command can't be found. Need some direction here, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
