[PLUG] Corrupted library file name

[Ben Dugan <bdugan@curdes.com>]

I was rebooting a system running Redhat 7.3 (old, I know) and I was 
thrown into the "run fsck manually" path.  So I did (run fsck manually) 
and was confronted with a very large number (>100) errors, bad inodes, 
etc.  On the next reboot, after these repairs, the system is freezing at 
a point where it looks for libext2fs.so.2.4.  I have enough of a system 
that I can look into the /lib directory, where I see a file with the 
name: libext2"s.so.4 (that's a quote char between the 2 and the s).

I don't see any other files with bad names like this one, and I'm hoping 
there's some way I can mv or otherwise correct this name and get this 
system back on the air, at least long enough to run postgres once to do 
a pgdump on a database that's on this machine.

Any suggestions?

At the moment I can't find the old 7.3 boot CD, either, though I suppose 
I might find an iso for this online.

In a related question: How is this device (/dev/hda2) write-protected if 
 mount says its (rw) and I'm superuser?
