OK, all was pretty normal with 10.1 until today.
I put my iMac to sleep before going to bed last night. When I woke up this morning it was off. (could have been a power drop - got some crappy roofers using a compressor on an old electrical system.)
Here’s the strange thing: all my icons from OS9 apps have turned generic in the dock. And when I started classic, all my partitioned volumes automatically started rebuilding their desktops. The desktop files must have been wiped out.

Now I’m getting a little scared….

Speaking from experience, power failures from surges or power outages can destroy a Mac OS 9 system.  I have had two Mac OS 9 system partitions rendered inoperable by thunderstorms.  Luckily, Mac OS X is never affected.

Well I wouldn’t say X wasn’t affected. fsck -y ran three times fixing error each time.

fsck -y?

Not being very UNIX savy yet, what does this do?

It’s an ‘old school’ Norton Disk Doctor for UNIX.

While booting X, hold down Apple-S and it will boot into single-user mode and give you a command line. Type “fsck -y” and it will check the file system. Repeat until it reports all clear.
Then type “exit” to continue booting.
