Hi there : Question : how have you partitioned your disk ?
If for examples' sake you set up /home as a separate filesystem , and this is the filesystem that has become corrupted , when you login to the system in admin mode , you should be given a root prompt. In such a case , you would need to make sure /home is unmounted before performing fsck or e2fsck. However , if the corruption happens on your / partition , you could have a problem , because you cannot perform a filesystem check on a mounted filesystem. I myself have not managed to find a way to force a check on the / filesystem.
