I was out sick most of last week and missed the excitement.
Oh, you poor thing.
I can go take a look at Nebka today (Monday). I don't know what I can do beyond fscking and rebooting again though.
disk /dev/sda 80G needs to be replaced by the 140G disk. 1. Boot into single user mode. 2. Mount root disk read-only mount -o ro,remount /dev/sda1 3. Check disk with badblock check e2fsck -c -y /dev/sda1 4. reboot into single use 5. make sure sdb1 is mounted as /vol 6. rsync to /vol rsync -va --exclude /vol --exclude /proc --exclude /sys / /vol 7. install grub grub-install --root-directory /vol/boot/grub /dev/sdb1 8. shutdown machine, exchange disk sda and sdb. 9. fiddle with bios so that it boots from what was sdb, now sda. Good luck! Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel phone: +7 383 330 6813 skype: thomaskrichel

And once more a Saturday at 7:37.
I guess it is a setback for badblock theorists.
I am *not* going to campus this week-end. I could not work on the machine yesterday, as it continually had a load above 1.
My commiserations!
