When I boot the server I get the following message
Code: Select all
An automatic file system check (fsck) of the root filesystem failed. A manual fsck must be performed, then the system restarted. The fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem mounted in read-only mode...failed!A log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/checkfs if that location is writable. Please repair the file system manually. A maintenance shell will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and resume system boot..Give root password for maintenance(or type Control-D to continue)

I honesly have no idea what I am doing so I have tried to searching for similar issues in this forum but most of the fsck errors don't seem to be for exit status 8. The other thread I found I did state the first steps to recover the filesystem are to un-mount all disks/partitions and then run a filesystem check from a live cd. (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... +8#p399882)
According to the web interface the fours hard drives are as follows
/dev/sda
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc
/dev/sdd
They are listed as mounted and as an xfs filesystem but the status is listed as missing.
Do I just unmount all by typing in the following
Code: Select all
umount -a
Code: Select all
e2fsck -y -f -v /dev/hda1
Finally I am sorry if it seems I jumped into the deep end but I didn't think I would have to learn much about debian and would just be able to rely on the web interface aspect of the server. Thank you if you managed to read this all the way through.
