Hardy failed

[Karl F. Larsen]

    I was using Hardy when Thunderbird did some odd things. I thought 
IMAP was the cause. But then using the laptop imap was fine. So I 
rebooted my Hardy and all heck was caused. It came up and said to run 
fsck on /dev/sda6 and asked for my root password. I do not have a root 
password...

    So a Ctrl-Alt-Del got me out and I booted into my 9.04 system and 
using a terminal I ran sudo fsck /dev/sda6 and it it found a whole lot 
of errors on that ext3 file system for some reason. But it got done and 
I am back on Hardy again and Thunderbird is working normal...

    Looks like you should run a check every so often. Not sure how often?
