This is vital, you court a real disaster if you attempt to fsck it mounted. Doing that will really ( euphemistically ) fsck it. Also note that because your device is not mounted you file check a filesystem by using the device name - NOT the mount point i.e.:- fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda6 _NOT_ fsck.reiserfs /mnt/hda6 -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB.
