As a root user do... fdisk -l This will give you a list of partitions. Which might look like... /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 You have to work out which one to umount. In this case it might be .... ' umount /dev/sda2 '. Doing that would unmount the drive or partition. You can then run fsck. -- Richard _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
