I was referring to the partition that the kernel is on. The kernel can't be
read without its partition being mounted in some kind of way. As Tom
suggested, I think the partition is mounted read-only at first and then
mounted read-write after the kernel is loaded and fscks (if any) are done.

Now you mention it: on boot (lilo text) I sometimes notice (when I look)
messages like
Remounting file system.
That could be part of the process...

fsck means "file system check". It is similar to chkdsk or scandisk in
Windows.
What happened on your system was that for some reason the boot process
found
ehh,,, the kernel is read into memory, then the disk unmounted?

Good question. You've gotten me wondering about that too. If you wanted to do
it manually I would assume that you would have to boot from (or chroot to)
another filesystem (like a CD or floppy). How do fscks work on boot? When an
fsck is needed at bootup, it is run _before_ the partiton is moun

One small question then: how would you go about fsck-ing the partition that
has the fsck binary on it? You can't run it when it is not mounted, and you
can't run it when it's mounted.
Would cp-ing the program be the solution?

FSCK = File System ChecK
It is the equivalent of Scandisc in Windos (i.e. it finds and corrects file
system errors), but it does a much more thorough job. It will usually kick in
automatically on your Ext2 partitions if you haven't unmounted them correctly
(e.g. not shut down correctly) and af
whats a Journalling filesystems?

fsck is a file system checker. Log in as root or any user with admin ability
and then go to a
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
21 matches
