Neither is a viable option, because you will be unable to umount essential parts of the filesystem, like /. Running fsck on a mounted file system is, as they would say in Oceania[1], "double plus ungood". Boot to the rescue system on your installation CD/DVD. The filesystem there is just a RAMdisk, and nothing else is mounted. You can fsck every partition in your system without worry. -- [1] This is 2007, don't tell me you haven't read Orwell?!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
