Since the machine is remote from me I'd like to issue a reboot and force the disk to clean (I do have access to the system, just need to make a few calls). So my question is, after doing a little bit of searching can somebody confirm this approach? I thought (possibly incorrectly) I could force a fsck on reboot by touching the file "/forcefsck" but searching further I think I will also need to create the file "/etc/sysconfig/autofsck" and put these two lines in: AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes AUTOFSCK_OPT="-y" hopefully this would clear the filesystem on a reload. The other comment I saw would be to put a "-y" in the /forcefsck file Am I on the right track? I'd prefer to avoid a drive over to the datacenter and arranging access even though its only 15 minutes from home. Booting the system on recovery media although not impossible will be difficult.
