I have a small problem. I've had a machine go down and it came back up with dirty filesystem on /var and /usr. fsck has solved the problem with /var, after 10 times through. fsck seems unable to resolve the inconsistencies with /usr however. fsck is running for the 15th time right now. It looks to me like a probable bad sector on the disk. My question is there a way to force the machine to boot with a dirty filesystem, so that I can pull data from /etc to move to a new disk? Barring that, is there still a procedure to force the system to boot, update the inodes with whatever information it can find, and mark the other files as unreadable? Thanks in advance.
