So I got my wife's machine booted today using a install disk and |
2 |
played a bit with e2fsck. The machine stopped being happy last night |
3 |
due to some sort of corruption on the /var partition. e2fsck |
4 |
complained about 3 or 4 files and then repaired the partition. The |
5 |
machine booted cleanly as far as I can tell. |

So, something went bad and I managed to sneak around it for a while |
8 |
and now I'm sort of living with the machine wondering what to do. |

Do I just watch the logs looking for problems? I have no way of |
11 |
knowing right now whether this was a disk problem that's going to come |
12 |
back, a 1 time deal due to power, or something else entirely. |

14 |
As these cheap machines that don't use RAID what's the right way to |
15 |
go? emerge -e @world and then wait for the next event? Do nothing and |
16 |
wait? |

We've got decent personal data backups as well as basic /etc data. |
