Hello, I'd like to riserfsck my encrypted root directory, but of course / is in use so that I cannot remount it to read-only. I guess I'd need to download a bootable CD with reiserfschk and the decryption tools needed to mount the encrypted partition. Can you advise me how and where I can find the smallest bootable CD that can do the job? Or is there an easier way? thanks Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic art photos: http://www.bauer-nudes.com Madagascar special: http://www.fotograf-basel.ch/madagascar/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Couldn't you just reboot? I'm sure there's a bit you can flip to force a check on start-up. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Late, but maybe somebody can use the info: I just had to boot with "init 1" and could then check the / directory. (with init 3 it is in use and cannot be checked with reiserfschk, I received the hint from Basil Chupin, thanks) Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic art photos: http://www.bauer-nudes.com Madagascar special: http://www.fotograf-basel.ch/madagascar/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
