Hello.
I have a mutiboot computer with the options to boot into
- Gentoo Linux
- Fedora Core
- Windows XP
- Windows ME
My first hard disk (hda) is partitioned as shown by fdisk:
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1530 12289693+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 * 1531 3476 15631245 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 3477 4206 5863725 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 4207 9729 44363497+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 4207 4269 506016 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda6 4270 9729 43857418+ 83 Linux
Recently I have upgraded from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3
and since then I have been having problems with the /dev/hda6
partition when booting Gentoo Linux. I get the following
message:
fsck could not correct all errors, manual repair needed
This is happening every time I boot into Gentoo Linux.
The latest version of parted, running in Gentoo Linux, gives me:
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 0.000-76319.085 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 12001.684 primary ntfs

5 32992.897 33487.053 logical linux-swap
6 33487.084 76316.594 logical ext3
(parted) print 6
Error: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted! You should e2fsck. Modifying an
unclean filesystem could cause severe corruption.
Ignore/Cancel? ignore
No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Parted
can't resize this (yet).
The partition has already been checked and corrected by fsck
when booting into Gentoo Linux.
Any help?
