I have a serious problem on one of my servers running CentOS 5!!!
The problem started this way,
I wanted to store some data under /home and I got an error message saying it is in the read only mode
So I rebooted the machine,
Then I see this serious error messages at boot time (I am unable to boot)
Here is the Error Message!!!
*** Error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell
Give root password for maintenance
(or type control D to continue):
Bash: dircolors: command not found
Bash: /usr/bin/id: No such file or directory
Bash: [:=: unary operator expected
(Repair filesystem)1 #
I would boot off CD1 or the Install DVD and boot into rescue mode, and check /var/log/messages for any hard drive errors. If there are hard drive errors, I would copy the data off, and then use e2fsck against the partition(s) in question.
