e2fsck- changes to files?

2003-08-10 Thread Dale Starr

when might you run "e2fsck" manually??

2003-06-14 Thread Robert P. J. Day
following up on the current thread regarding running e2fsck, under what circumstances would one need to run that command *manually* on a filesystem that is normally mounted at boot time? that is, doesn't the boot sequence check the health of filesystems, and run e2fsck automatically
