Today and the last days i run in some troubles while sync.
after opening hyperterm and watch the errors i recognized the trouble.... which did not show in emplode.

so i did an efsck and run in serious trouble. It seems that the HDD has bad blocks in important regions.

"Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Warning: Group 175's copy of the group descriptors has a bad block (1433628).
Warning: Group 189's copy of the group descriptors has a bad block (1548291).
no room for private writable mapping
error: -12
Error allocating block bitmap (3): Memory allocation failed"

Now i have the trouble ..

Maybe anybody could tell me how to fix this ?

Thank you !

btw: Mark I

Greetings!

Always do a "swapon /swapfile" before doing an FSCK. This sets aside the swap space for the check. It may not be necessary on very small disks, but anything of any size will need it. Please check the FAQ for doing the disk handling for the exact syntax.

It worked !
Thank you !
I did it the normal way, swapon and so it worked.. hmm, had 3 bad sectors on the harddisk. HDD is a TOSHIBA MK1011GAV, 9590MB, originally in the Mark I i own.

But after all it works again, could sync the files and so on....

Thynk you !
