My iBook just crashed
and have no clue
long story short heres my situation and what I am trying to accomplish.
Im on vacation, dont have my repair disks or an OS disk with me.
So what I'm trying to do is
repair disk permissions while in single user mode. I know it can be done because thats how I recoverd my mac from its last crash
as dumb as this sounds, I just cant remember how
so I boot into single user mode
and run
fsck
it replies, volume is journaled. no checking performed
just to be careful I run
fsck -fy
it says, invalid node structure volume check failed
so I move on and mount the volume
the run diskutil repairpermissions /disk
and it does nothing, only now it wont let run any more commands
a little help???
