I need to check the condition of the file system to determine whether my HDD is failing or it is the ext4 file system is corrupted. I use a rescue usb stick. Thank you Carlos, but I do not have a 'rescue usb stick' :-) . Download ISO, dd it to the USB stick and go on. ;-) You only need to be able to boot from USB stick. ;-) Good luck, Vojtěch
So what you are saying is that the old and trusted 'e2fsck' performed on a system by going to level #1 is now no longer a working proposition and that one needs the Rescue DVD/schtik to do this check of the file system? :-) .
If so, the more we progress the further we move back ;-) .
No, what he's saying is that you can't run fsck on the file system you're running from. Running from a usb stick or liveCD guarantees that the HDD you are checking is not in use. If the HDD *is* corrupted you don't want to be running from it when you check it. You want to be running from something that you have confidence in. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
