Re: inodes, fsck and read-only file systems, Oh my!

What file system is this?  Have you run fsck with the -c and -f flags?  Can
you boot this device with a cd or USB and then check the disk
(systemrescuecd is my current favorite rescue distro)?  Running "badblocks
-svv" (those are two v's as in victor, the "w" will perform a destructive
write test) can give you a more thorough test of the disk.

Before doing anything, backup your data.
