Catastrophe!
Today after the mp3car gathering I dropped by my brothers house to work with him on his arcade cabinet his making. Well, we were waiting for the glue to set up so I took him out to show him the carputer. When I booted up the os said it needed to be checked. Did I want to check it, and that it could be dangerous to check on a mounted system. I figured. What the heck. I’ve done it before. Well, this time was the time it was dangerous. When I rebooted Grub had a fit. The O/S was completely gone (I’m sure if I really wanted to I could have recovered from this.)
Since I wasn’t terribly happy with the ext3 filesystem I used this as an excuse to load the latest ubuntu on the drive with the jfs filesystem.
Everything went flawlessly. Now I just have to start rebuilding the system with the apps I want on it.
