Thank you!

I could not remember the original size of /home. I
remembered I created software RAID at the beginning when I
installed the OS ten month ago. And It worked well, but
suddenly one day student report they could not save their
edited files, I tried to reboot it could not and showed the
error:
/home : UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY.

I tried e2fsck -c /dev/sdb1

After it finished, It still could not reboot.

Thanks alot!
