I wanted to run FSCK on my primary drive, but I got an error, so I backed out..
Code:
jason@SAMSON:~$ fsck
fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
WARNING: bad format on line 11 of /etc/fstab
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
/dev/sda1 is mounted.
WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.
Also, you can see the bad format on line 11 of my FSTAB file, but I don't get this...there IS NO line 11 here...
Thanks for all the tips. Does the FSCK check the entire volume? I thought it was like a CHKDSK in Windows and checked the whole drive. But after reading what {BBI}Nexus{BBI} said, I wonder if it is just for one directory at a time.
