fsck and filesystem errors

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Paul:

You've got my compassion.  Stuff like this always happens when nearly 
almost no one else is around... ah the wonder of it all! 

To your point:
Here's a link which should be helpful for YDL 4.1 although the 
instructions address an earlier version of YDL.  The only addition I 
would suggest is that once you are in rescue mode run fsck (file system 
check) from there.  Here's the link:

Regarding getting more information regarding this tool (fsck) or others 
I've found this link below most helpful:

Good Luck in resolving your problem!
