I want to try running a manual fsck on my main partition. I booted into runlevel 3 and tried "umount /dev/hda2" but got "device is busy". I'm thinking that I should be trying to unmount the filesystem itself, not the device, but don't know how to figure out what that is (and I can't remember a command that would show the filesystem name associated with the device). Then again, maybe I'm way off base here. Anyway, I just need to be able to unmount the filesystem so I can run fsck on it. Can someone tell me what to enter to do the unmount?
Thanks, Greg Wallace
IO did not see dat you started a new thread, so I answered in the other one. So, the solution is to boot either from the install media (cd/dvd) and select maintenance mode, or boot from knoppix, damn small linux, etc. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
