How do I correct that?

Thanks.

Tried fsck already, francois?

[aus9]

thanks Bogomips

I am more anal

any partition to be checked from a normal bootup should be umounted and then as root run....assuming ext2/3/4

Code: Select all

e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2

If sdb2 is your normal boot up partition then I suggest you boot a live cd or a bootable linux usb stick and umount sdb2

2) if you want a regular system check you can mod your /etc/fstab to include a checkup.

2) if you want a regular system check you can mod your /etc/fstab to include a checkup.

Bit less hassle? fsck on Kernel Command Line -> performing linux filesystem check on all available devices: at boot time.

I used fsck as a cheatcode a few times since then to check the file system with no differences on the fact that sdb2 could be mounted. I will try aus9 proposition.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2

did it.

Thanks.
