Dear All My CentOS server got file system inconsistency , asking for "type Ctrl-D for normal boot or give root password for maintenance to run fsck manually". I tried for manually run fsck , as the followings : #fsck -s /dev/hda3 But after rebooting the server it will come back again at the similar prompt asking for "give root password for maintenance" . Can you please do me favor and let me know how can I try for advanced fsck to fix the bug? Thank you

I presume /dev/hda3 is root partition.
Try booting off the 1st CD then type
linux rescue
and run fsck from there.

Thank you for your reply . I have received my CentOS server as pre-installed , with no CD accompanied . Is there any other way to fix the bug? Thank you

You can download the appropriate disk image from any of the Centos mirror sites.
It is probably not a bug... most likely you have additional filesystems that need checking. If you are unsure about what filesystems to check, use the "-A" flag to fsck:
# fsck -A
That will check all applicable filesystems listed in your /etc/fstab file.
It is also possible that the filesystems are too severely damaged to be repaired from single user mode. In that case you'll need to download a Centos CD and use rescue mode and hope that you can recover.

and, you need to use -f to actually FIX any structural damage it finds
fsck -fvy will correct most of the problems without asking everytime to accept the changes to fs.
fsck -cvy will correct and test for bad sectors too (looong time run).

You did me great . The 'fsck -fvy' got through and I have my CentOS server up and running again . I thought that I cannot bring it up again and so lost all of the files . My special thanks from you Sincerely Yours
