Yeah, the usual thing -- computer locked up during synch, had to kill Emplode, now it does the Checking Media thing every time I try anther synch. With two 80GB drives, this is rather time consuming.

I did the manual fix as described in the FAQ:


ro
umount /dev/hda4
umount /dev/hdc4
swapon /swapfile
fsck -fay /
fsck -fay /dev/hda4
fsck -fay /dev/hdc4
swapoff /swapfile
sync


but it apparently failed with an error message. I have attached the Hyperterminal log.

I rebooted the empeg, it started up normally, I started Emplode, and it started up normally so I figured I was home free. But when I did a synch, it did the "Checking Disc Integrity" thing for about 90 minutes before successfully completing the operation. That's where I am now, Emplode is still up and connected, and I don't want to shut it down in case there is something I should do while it is still running.

What should my next step be?
