You should only fsck with the disks unmounted and usually from single-user mode. So its possible there is nothing wrong with your disks. I seem to remember there is a way of forcing the system to run a full fsck during boot by creating /forcefsck (i.e. "touch /forcefsck") and then editing /etc/fstab and changing the last number on the line to a '1' for the file system you want to check. (I hope I remembered that correctly - someone correct me if its wrong). -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
