Linux Checkdisk

[J Lindroos]

I have a problem. Suddenly I could'nt start my Linux system. It justed hanged up. Well I booted a CD with a ready-to-boot system and from there I mounted my Linux-partition to reach my system files from there. I have done it before and it worked. This time, when moving into the directory my linux was mounted on, and ls gives me some error about that the filesystem had some error. Is there any app for Linux like DOS' scandisk?

Thanks

take a look at the fsck program.

[bdg1983]

To repair a ext2 filesystem

fsck -a /dev/hda# (for automatic repair)

fsck -p /dev/hda# (for prompted repair)

Best to read the fsck man page though.

Of course I've never had to use fsck. ReiserFS :)
