With many thanks for your reply , I tried to force fsck after reboot as the
followings :

Can you please do me favor and let me know if this is the same as your
proposed procedure (since I am not familiar with your tune2fs and its usage)


$ man tune2fs

We need to know: are you a rank newbie?

 Dear All
 I have an Linux server that gets problemy from sudden power cut . I need to
 run fsck in single user mode so I issued #init 1 on the server . At the
 server prompt , to serialize the fsck on the intended file system , I first
 tried to unmount the intended file system and then issue the fsck (as the
 following) :
 #umount /dev/hda2
 #fsck -s -a /dev/hda2
 But the server returned Device Busy . So I checked its status under fuser
 -u /dev/hda2 but no process recorded for it . Can you please do me favor

If its any consolation, I get this on a working system where hda is the
only drive:

r...@box:~# fuser -u /dev/hda1
r...@box:~# fuser -u /dev/hda2
r...@box:~# fuser -u /dev/hda

That is no output, although the machine is definitely being used.
