Assuming you're using ext2: # fsck.ext2 -f /dev/hda5
where /dev/hda5 is the partition you're checking. The partition must NOT be mounted when doing any checking. If you're looking to check root, then I dunno. You prolly have to set something either in the filesystem header and then reboot, or somehow manage to do some remounting.. not even sure how possible it is to umount and mount in one step :) Anyone else? :) -Statux On Tue, 4 Dec 2001, Stephen Liu wrote: > Hi All People, > > What command to be used to check the partition of a hard disc ? > > Thanks > > B.R. > Stephen Liu > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > -- -Statux _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
