Hi all,
Question about fsck, I need to know how to run it correctly. I log in as
root and type the following- fsck -t nondos /dev./hda# and it says that
running fsck will cause severe file damage. So how then do I unmount the
file system to run it ?
Also when installing linux and creating your partitions it always asks
where you want your mount point to be ? Where should it be ? I have win98
and mandrake 7.0 and its split right down the middle. It always wants to
know where to put the mount point. Since lilo will fail anyways because of
the 1024 cylinder error I just say root or / and use a floppy and never
have had a problem. So once I get 7.1 will there be a difference ?
Also how do you move your swap space to the front ? When I create the
partition it always wants to put it in the very end of the partition. I
dont have a performance issue just wanted to know if this is a better way.
Finally I see alot of you all have a seperate partition for each section or
part of mandrake is this necessary ? Ive always used the auto allocate and
it sees windows and makes a space and then leaves the rest for linux but
only the root or / and swap space. So is the rest just auto allocated or is
root the only real partition there ?
Thank
you, Chronos.
