hey i use gentoox mce for 1 week now, since today my box doesn't boot anymore because of errors on /dev/hda4.
So I booted up xebian and tried fsck.ext3 there, but this just prints out "Killed" and does nothing. I also chrooted to my gentoox environment to try fsck.ext3 from there, i get some more lines on my screen but it also exits with "Killed:"

xebian:/# chroot /mnt/hda3 /bin/bash
xebian:/# env-update; source /etc/profile
xebian / # fsck.ext3 /dev/hda4
efsck 1.3.5 (28.Feb-2004)
/dev/hda4 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Killed
xebian / #

is there anything i can do ? the strange is: thing it mounts fine....

Oh, i didn't know about sparkle. This tool worked fine! Now everything seems to be OK.

But can somebody explain me why a normal fsck.ext3 doesn't work? are there any special parameters to put in ?

My only guess is the easy "You sure that partition is ext3?" =)

lol hehe yes i thought that too but i tried all : fsck.ext2 fsck.reiserfs and also my fstab from mce is telling me that it must be ext3.

My guess is you ran out of memory and the kernel killed the process. Try enabling the swap partition with "swapon /dev/hdaX" (where X should be 1... I think).
