"Checking File Sytesm"


I used Linux OS (Red Hat 7.1) when my computer accidentally lost power. So I reboot my computer. When the Linux was booting it “checking file system” and I saw the “Failed message”. It asked me for root password and I entered the password. What I have to do next, what command I have to enter.


Thanks in advance

run "fsck /dev/hdXY" where XY is the number of the partition that failed. if you don't know what it is, then run "fdisk -l" to show them all, and check all the linux ones to make sure

And it's better be done in a single user mode (init 1) on unmounted filesystems.
