Hi

I thought I'd do some maintenance tasks on my system (iBook 700 / 384MB / 10.2.4), and so booted into single user mode to run fsck.

Upon running fsck there seem to be a number of problems which it said it had fixed, but when I reboot and run fsck again the problems are still there - some are the same problem (same error id) and some have slightly different error id's.

I also get repeated errors of something like:

HFS - something something error - inodexxxxxxxxx

I thought that it was always taking a while to boot - it was obviously processing these errors.

Strangely though everything seems fine when the system has booted


Please don't tell me my drive is truly fscked.

My opinion - don't worry about it.

The next time you get the chance to backup, reformat and restore, go ahead and do it.

But, don't go crazy trying to make that happen. If you can't get to it for a few months, don't worry about it. Just make sure you have good backups and go on about your life.

Well, I'd just run a real disk utility (read: DiskWarrior) on that drive.

Thanks for the replies. I have run Drive10 which fixed a shed load of errors, then tried fsck-ing the drive again and no errors .

However I still see the following error when booting in single user mode:

HFS resolvelink error: *blah blah* inodexxxxxxx

Any ideas on that one?
