OK, it's mounted on /mnt/sysimage. That /tmp/hdc2 is how it's referenced when you boot in rescue mode.

Unmount it 'umount /mnt/sysimage' and run fsck on that 'fsck /tmp/hdc2'.

Another thing. This will only repair the filesystem. If you have damaged files, they may not be recoverable. Unless you want to manually recover those (assuming the fsck fixes the filesystem) it's easier to simply reinstall from scratch.


You can back the information you want from the rescue mode, and then reinstall. Once the reinstall is done, restore the backed up information.
