coding issues. you could do a real-time fault tolerant vme bus system but that's $$$
You don't need to reinstall, you just need to manually run "fsck". When linux boot
dies, it should dump you into a very limited shell where you can repair your
filesystem. I'm not familiar with the BDI flavor of linux, but with redhat and such it's
not hard to do. Also you may whant to try one of the linux journaled filesystems
which should eliminat your fcsk woes.
One thing that helps with the manual FSCK'ing is to know what partitions on your disk
your filesystem lives. I'd bet the BDI uses one big partition for everything. When it's
running , you may want to more the mtab file and make note of where your partition
lives physically on the disk so you can more easily do a manual fsck without hunting
for a valid partition.
