Hello, I'm running into some strange occurrences today on Fedora Core 1. After a reboot I logged into my Gnome desktop and the panel was gone. This has happened to me in the past and is easily solved by issuing the 'gnome-panel &' command from a terminal. However today was different as /usr/bin/gnome-panel seemed to have disappeared, along with several other files and even an entire drive. To solve the panel problem I simply inserted my Fedora media and 'rpm -Uvh --oldpackage gnome-panel*.rpm && yum update gnome-panel' but I'm still wondering why this happened - especially in light of the other problems listed below. Other strange behaviors are files that appear to be missing. Earlier today I was moving some .wav files from my home directory to a separate drive in the system mounted under /newdisk. The operation was taking a very long time so I killed it and then listed /newdisk. Nothing returned even though there was data on that drive previously and files were apparently moving there since they are no longer in my home directory. I thought the /newdisk drive was causing the problem so I unmounted it. Now when I try to mount it I get the error "/dev/hdb1: Input/output error" Also, I tried to run a script located in /usr/local/bin called 'psfind'. According to ls this script is MIA, but when I do a '/usr/local/bin/ps[tab][tab]' it shows up as an option in Bash. So I downloaded another copy of psfind and did 'mv /home/ryan/psfind.pl /usr/local/bin && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/psfind.pl'. The file moved just fine, but on the chmod operation I get an error: "mv: cannot stat `/usr/local/bin/psfind': Input/output error" Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on here? Any help appreciated.
