You should never ever do am fsck on a rw mounted partition.
Would a kind sole please let me know what fsck syntax I should use if the / or any other partition needs repairing? The fsck error from hell has meant that I have left the machine running and susceptible to power outages. It depends on the filesystem. for ext3, man fsck.ext3. In a pinch, fsck.ext3 -f /dev/hdxx, replacing xx with the correct drive and partition.
