I need to run fsck
in order to repair my one and only hard-disk. I have no rescue CD/USB available.
I did the following:
touch /forcefsck
chmod a+rw /forcefsck # just to be really sure
reboot
But no fsck happened on reboot, though the /forcefsck
file quietly disappeared (why BTW?)!
I saw some responses on the Net suggesting a shutdown -rF
to auto-run fsck
on reboot, but the shutdown
I have on my F16 does not have any -F
option.
