Out of the blue, Debian failed to boot. Using debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso I mounted the root partition / dev/hda1.
I would like to examine the partition to find the reason for the failure. I'm guessing I should use fsck. Is this right? However, I don't know what options to give it or *what I'm looking for*. The man page is kind of sketchy, and I don't feel encouraged by the following: %fsck /dev/hda1 fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) /dev/hda1 is mounted. WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted file system may cause SEVERE file system damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? As always, I'm grateful for any guidance you can give.
