linux "scandisk" equivalent
ditto
had some bad blocks while installing-- just wanna make sure everything is ok |
Would you be referring to fsck if your wanting to run a scan on your system in Linux ??
|
what version would I use for ext3? I read some warning about fsck, is there a greater chance of system damage than w/ using windows scandisk, or is it about the same?
|
There are plenty of warnings about using it with mounted file systems when you start it due to the possibility of another process writing during scanning.
I usually use my boot disk (yes, I actually made one) or the install cd's and "linux rescue" to get a shell. Then fsck the partition. I won't use the automatic function. |
