fsck and ext3
does anyone know if fsck is good for ext3 ?
it looks a bit dangerous, i want it to check and see if it can automatically fix the size descrepancy i've been having ever since i resized the /usr partition....
anyone out there have an idea on how to correct this or if fsck is the right tool for the job,
i dont want to be hap-hazardly using something that'll destroy what i got here
thanks
- perry

It's safe unless you answer a question wrong:
umount /path/to/device
fsck -t ext3 /dev/whatever
I just ran it on one of my devices:
-(~:#)-> fsck -t ext3 /dev/hdb1
fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
/dev/hdb1: clean, 18/2698080 files, 2335781/5386492 blocks
-(~:#)->
