Umount the filesystem you want to check and run e2fsck. If you cannot umount the filesystem because some important program uses it change to runlevel 1: # init 1 After that you should be able to umount the filesystem, don't be afraid to umount the root-filesystem, you *won't crash* your system as an "umount /" puts the root-filesystem into read-only mode. You can check that if you do a "cat /proc/mounts". It is _save_ to repair the filesystem when it is mounted read-only. When you did the checks be carefull to remount the root partition: # mount -o remount,rw / Then change the runlevel again: # init 2 If you follow this procedure you don't have to reboot _at_all_! Hope it helps... - Konrad Mierendorff
