[SOLVED] fsck syntax

Fixit7 · 06-17-2015, 10:11 AM

With sda4 not mounted, I get this.

What am I doing wrong ?

Code:

# fsck sda4
fsck from util-linux 2.21.2

Code:

sudo e2fsck -fpC0 /dev/sda4

-f - force check.
-p - preen ( auto fix )
-C0 - progress bar

What filesystem you have on sda4? Ext4? if so then

Code:

fsck.ext4 /dev/sda4

Thanks, this only took a second to check while Keith's took much longer. ?

Quote:

# fsck.ext3 /dev/sda4
e2fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
PUPPEX_TAHR: clean, 61856/3489792 files, 783852/13958144 blocks

# e2fsck -fpC0 /dev/sda4
PUPPEX_TAHR: /lost+found not found. CREATED.
PUPPEX_TAHR: 61857/3489792 files (0.9 non-contiguous), 783853/13958144 blocks

Sometimes there is no pick above for "problem solved."

The -fp makes it slower but better as you can see it found a problem and fixed it (no Lost+Found)
