MythTV box is dead!
December 8th, 2006 by Jerry
So, for the first time ever, I’ve encountered a catastrophic failure in the Linux file system. Apparently, something went wonky (technical term) in the root partition (where all the important system files are kept) and nothing can run, not even the venerable fsck, which would be the only way to repair whatever damage was done.
(As a side note, it amuses me that the spell check built-in to Firefox 2 finds no problems with “wonky.” That just made my day. Edit: That’s because it’s a real word.)
So this means no TV until I rip the hard drive out of the MythTV computer and put it into my main computer to try to repair or rebuild the damaged file system. Doesn’t that sound like fun? I guess it’s good to go without TV for a while.
