The journaling filesystems do it with each access. and the other linux filesystems usually do it during the bootup process. Linux uses the drive a lot more wisely than windows and usually doesn't get frageed up badly. It will usually do a fsck on the drive at boot. Hope this helps.

[newbie] Problem installing software
I'm having problems with gcc. I've untarred and unzipped several different programs that I've downloaded and when I goto to do the ./configure I get an error message that gcc is not configured to make an executable. I'm sure it something simple that I've overlooked, but any help would be appreciated. Lyndon Lininger Sr.

The voltage at ground can fluxiate from moment to moment on a circuit board. It can be a positive or negative voltage. It is never a constant when referenced to a true ground like a grounding rod.

Re: [newbie] fsck
At the command line type e2fsck /dev/partition. Replace partition with the drive and partition designation. Example the first hard drive would be hda and the first partition on hda would be hda1. the second hard drive would be hdb and the first partition on hdb would be hdb1. Do this for all your linux partitions except swap. hope this helps.

I recently had a system crash. I was able to put the filesystem back together with fsck, but now I have the problem of not being able to start the xserver for any of my users except root.
