Yes, sorry. I did mean the partition, not the drive.
You need SMART to check the drive.
Yes, I haven't had time to install smartmontools, but I'll do it as
soon as I've fully understood and documented how to use e2fsck.
Hah!
I don't know. First question, though, is: are you doing this on a
mounted filesystem? If so, You're Doing It Wrong.
No, it's unmounted. I'm checking an external device.
As to checking mounted devices, the man page is very confusing:
See: http://linux.overshoot.tv/ticket/112
Yeah, I read that, but I think you're over-analyzing. Just never
fsck a mounted fs.
Boot from a Live CD (I like Sidux) and run the e2fsck that comes on
the CD. The errors might just go away...
no :-/
Hmmm, that doesn't sound good. Have you googled? Was the fs
cleanly unmounted?
