These are my thoughts, but as I have never had to do this I am open to correction. man mount -- for a description of mount and its options. I think in your case you would issue (as root) something like mount -t ext2 -o remount,ro / then you can fsck it. If your root directory is reiser filesystem, then DON'T run fsck on it -- I am told that reiserfsck is still very alpha and likely to cause more harm than good.

When I boot from my floppy, I get this message but do not know what to do. I think the resulting lack of file-system checking (together with a couple of crashes) is causing some unusual little problems I am having.
Does anyone have any thoughts for a 30-day newbie?
Thanks.
