Alright this one is completely my fault. I have my Fold-Server on KVM switch. I was rebooting the server and while I did that I flipped over to the other computer on the switch. When I came back to the fold server I couldn't type anything. I guess that it didn't detect the keyboard while I was on the other computer. So I had no choice but to reset the server. When it comes back up I get the message:

/dev/hda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; Run fsck manually.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)

fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. Please note that the root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write:

# mount -n -o remount,rw /

CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and reboot the system

root@console[/]# mount -n -o remount,rw /
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
root@console[/]#

I've had to run the mount -n -o remount,rw / before when I had to reset while in X. It worked before, but I guess since I rebooted before I was in X this time it changed things. What is the exact commands I could use to fix this error? Thanks!!!!

EDIT:
root@console[/]#e2fsck /dev/hda1
e2fsck 1.34-WIP (21-May-2003)
/dev/hda1 is mounted.

WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)?

Well do I want to continue? I answered "n" for now.
 
NOOOOO don't run e2fsck on a mounted filesystem, it will probably totally screw the partition. you did right by not running it, but you probably should do one more reboot to let it run on the unmounted partition.
 
I'm reinstalling the server from the CD. The setup is so quick and easy that I figured it would save time.

NOTE TO SELF: Do not switch the KVM during reboot of the Fold-Server.
 
If you run into this again, try fsck'ing the drive (File System ChecK, you sicko) without mounting it rw.

Just "fsck /dev/hda1" and answer in the affirmative to whatever questions it asks.
