actually....no fsck doesn't work on mounted, in use volumes. if you're in the Terminal, you're fully booted, and fsck can't do it's deal. remember how you had to boot to an emergency floppy to run Disk First Aid up until OS 8.6 or so? same deal... fsck just can't work at that run-level. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
