MDM Trouble Report for 2008 Jul 4 Telescope: 1.3m Observer(s): armstrong (columbia) Instrument: templeton Problem(s) Encountered: It's 4pm on July 5. Just rebooted from last night's lightning shutdown ... Last night I did a lightning shutdown *correctly*, and now Tambora is having difficulty rebooting. (Back story: last week I shutdown tambora without logging out first, and it then failed to mount the data disk. This time I did log out first.) Upon reboot, Tambora gives the following warning: Unable to repair the / filesystem. Run fsck manually ... ... /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 is not okay. It will let me proceed normal startup by hitting ctrl-d. So I hit ctrl-d and got: INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx INIT: Failed write of utmpx entry: INIT: SINGLE USER MODE It then invited me to hit ctrl-d again to continue. I did. Then it prompted: Enter run level (0-6, s or S): I have no clue, of course. My only idea was to try shutting down again, but the prompt (above) will not accept logout , quit , or exit. Turning off Tambora's power without logging our surely won't do any good, so I don't know how to proceed. I'd appreciate some help! (Although with the way the sky's looking, I likely won't need it tonight anyway.) Thanks. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2008 Jul 5 [15:55:21]
