I found this in the FAQ and am running it now..

ro
umount /dev/hda4
umount /dev/hdc4
swapon /swapfile
fsck -fay /
fsck -fay /dev/hda4
fsck -fay /dev/hdc4
swapoff /swapfile
sync

The first hard drive (hda4) performed as expected.. but the second drive (hdc4) is making some strange noises. I am also getting these messeges, I dont remember if the first drive did this or not?

ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hdb: status timeout: status=0x80
hdb: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hdb: status timeout: status=0x80
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:44 (hdb), sector 6353269
hdb: drive not ready for command
hda: status timeout: status=0x80
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset: success
Error reading block 3176634 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in s
hort read) while reading indirect blocks of inode 1433. Ignore error? yes

Inode 1433, i_blocks is 7850, should be 7338. Fix? yes

hdb: irq timeout: status=0xff
ide0: reset: success
hda: lost interrupt
hdb: irq timeout: status=0xff
ide0: reset: success
hdb: irq timeout: status=0x80
ide0: reset: success
hdb: irq timeout: status=0xff
ide0: reset: success

I am going to let it continue until I get a prompt .. the second drive is bigger so I expect this to take some time. I am keeping my fingers crossed too. Someone please tell me I am on the right track?
