In days of old when unicorns gambolled in gay abandon in lush meadows and I wanted to check the state of the ext4 file system on my system I would, using the command line, issue the following commands (as root [I hate this word!]): # init 1 # mount -o remount,ro /dev/hdXY # e2fsck and this would inform me if the file system was alright or corrupted. The above now does not work and I get the error message, "<partition> is busy". What are the correct commands now, please, which replace those above? BC -- You are NOT entitled to your opinion.
