e2fsck -p -c /dev/hda1 ? unmounting ?


Hi, I would like to check the bad clusters on a machine.
I did that :
- start the pc as single user (grub down key and enter),
- it prompts me the root passwd, -done-
- then, I typed the following code:
Code:
# init 1
# umount /
# mount -o remount,ro /dev/hda1
# fsck -C /dev/hda1
# e2fsck -p -c /dev/hda1
Is it the best and cleanest to check & fix the bad clusters (by excluding) ??

thanks for the newbie information !
