fsck how to...?

[Nick Wilson]

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble with my RH7.2 set up and I think I need to run fsck. I was told to do fsck -AR but NOT on a mounted filesystem.

Problem is that I don't know how to run it whilst not on any mounted filesstem?

Could someone please give me a little step by step?

Cheers

If you don't mind re-booting you can include the -F switch when you run the shutdown command. It will force a fsck on all your partitions when you reboot.
