Hi Everyone, My Unix system has come into problem. I can't telnet to the machine through LAN. When I boot a system, it gives message "Type Control-d for normal login or type root password for system maintenance." After logined as root in System maintenance mode, I can't write to any file, e.g. Vi /etc/hosts gives error -> /var/tmp/Exfjksl REad onlu file system vi temp.txt also gives error. I can't even run commands like "df -k" etc. It gives no output on that. "init 6" also doesn't work. Can anybody help? Thanks, Kamlakar

run fsck

I ran "fsck" still the system in the same state. are there any specific options with fsck to fix such problem??

probably: fsck /dev/hda1 - assuming linux is on the 1st partition. or fsck -A
