Linux

When I booted my laptop today, I got the following error message:

Fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do: bash mount -n -o remount,rw / Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintainance mode. sgutdown or reboot will not work. Give root password to log in

I logged in and executed:

reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda7

Several error messages appeared, among them in the end:

VMware can interfere with Samba. When you are running a samba server on your computer and install VMware, you might break your samba server. You can check that by:

sudo /etc/init.d/smb status

When you install the Stuffit Expancer for Linux, you get not only the binaries, but also the man pages. I put the two files (named unstuff and stuff) into the following directory: /usr/local/man/man1. They are now available when I type: man stuff or man unstuff.
