I can unmount my /boot and /home partitions but I just can't

1.) Should I edit my Grub menu.lst to make a new entry with "single
ro" kernel parameteres?
2.) Of course I can fsck from (for example) a LiveCD (like Gentoo
minimal cd), but at the present I don't have any of these.
3.) Other solution?
Of course: it's in use :-)
Two options:
1) force partition check with the following command (seen recently in
this list)
shutdown -Fr
2) create the file /forcefsck
touch /forcefsck
then reboot, during shutdown you'll see "A full fsck will be forced on
next startup" and then "Checking root filesystem (full fsck forced)"
See the scripts /etc/init.d/halt.sh, /etc/init.d/checkfs
and /etc/init.d/checkroot to see all the "nuts and bolts"

Thanks a lot! I'll give a deep look at the mentioned files.
Anyway I think I'll set my fstab. Now all my partitions are set to
"never fsck" at boot time. :)
