A Centos 5 64-bit server reflected some SCSI kernel errors in the logs, so I opted to reboot, only to be prompted to perform a manual fsck, that an automatic fsck wouldn't be permitted. As a result, the fsck is taking a long time, as I have to babysit the server for every bad block that is reported and needs a forced rewrite. The exact error is "Error reading block x (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error(y)? Force rewrite(y)?" I say yes to both. Could I safely get away with booting from a CentOS 5 CD and performing a fsck with automatic system fixing to speed up the process, or do I need to be patient and just keep manually selecting Y for as long as it takes? Thanks. Scott
