Also helpful would be if you explained what makes you believe you must use option -j in the way you presented it. That would give us subscribers a better picture of what you've been trying to achieve. There are other fsck options which make sense when checking a file system. You don't want to miss them. > The question > initially and now has simply been whether or not the right command to > run a file system check on an ext3 file system is e2fsck -j /dev/xxxx, > one answered simply enough with a yes or a no, and, if with a no, with > an indication of the proper command. A brief look at "e2fsck --help" would tell you that your command-line is a syntax error. Running that command would give an error and print the command's syntax description and options overview. > The marvelous economy involved in > employing a proceedure of this kind would seem to have escaped you.

If I were a troll and answered "yes" to your initial question, would you run the command without verifying that it doesn't wipe your data? The man page is where you can check what the command would do. If you don't want to use "fsck /dev/xx", that's your problem. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+amy70iMVcrivHFQRAhDPAJ9Rua8843IDU0RebhvL64A5AhsEYwCfT/AU DpeMlXCCYhgioLQXhOVQA7Y= =WwG8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
