This is personal. My root file system killed itself (somehow). It is on ext4. What happened? I am setting up a VM with only 4GB of space left on /home. / has 8GB. I am guessing /home got full. So I restart and go to Windows for the time being. I had a customer using my system to do her work yesterday on linux. Her files are there. I start this morning to get an error like thisChroot-ing from a rescue OS does not work; the file exists. So what do I do now? Research. What I get is that my hard drive is going. That seems to be wrong. Don't ask me how I know!Code:EXT4-fs error (device dm-0) ext4_loopup: inode #786442 (comm switch_root) deleted inode reference 790977 switch_root can't execute '/sbin/init': input/output error
So now I will just transfer everything to a new fs and work from there. I am not using ext4 anymore. JFS works just fine.
