   More help needed with 6.06.   
      
   Error message (at boot) reads as follows -   
      
   fsck.ext2 : No such file or directory while trying to   
   open /dev/hda8   
   File system check failed. Please repair manually   
      
   I'm fairly certain that I know why !   
      
   I just used GParted to merge /hda6 and /hda7   
   (prior to that, /hda7 was an empty ext2 partition   
   as was /hda8)   
      
   So the old /hda8 is now renamed /hda7   
   (I intend using this partition for /home)   
   and /hda8 no longer exists.   
      
   ie in GParted, the Linux part of my HD   
   now looks like this :   
   /dev/HDA5     swap 204 Mb    
   /dev/HDA6     ext2 7.1Gb        6.06   
   /dev/HDA7     ext2 7.05 Gb     /home   
      
   I can get into Ubuntu and everything   
   seems to be working OK.   
      
   What do I need to do to repair the filesystem   
   and get rid of the error message ?
