Justin -
I was having trouble booting (couldn't get past the fsck). I finally got my system up again by booting until the file system
check, then logged in, ran e2fsck -py /dev/hdb1 (accepting that running
e2fsck on a mounted system can lead to cancer, etc.) then ran tune2fs -i 0 -c 0, exited and rebooted. It ran through a file scan and then
actually let me back in, so I'm back in business.
Hope this helps.
Mike
