fsck a file system on a dm-crypt'ed partition
Greetings.
Short: How do I run fsck on a file system residing in a block device created using dm-crypt? Long: The partition setup of my Asus eee netbook is as follows:
I made the block device obtained by dm-crypt'ing /dev/sda2 into a LVM physical volume. This volume has three partitions (their function should be obvious from their name). Code:
willard@sleipnir:~ The netbook works; I am writing this message using my netbook. I have tried rebooting, and nothing weird happened. Presumably, an impact detector made my hard drive park its head. But I am paranoid. I would like to know whether I damaged my drive, so I can buy a new one before the possible damage starts having consequences. So, I want to fsck file systems on partitions managed by LVM, on a block device within a dm-crypt'ed partition. Do you folks have any idea on how to do this? Thanks in advance, Willard. |
Just don't use fsck to test the drive, use the manufacturers diagnostic tool, this way you don't have to fiddle with the partitions at all.
