Well, if you're already running Linux, you can do a "man fsck" (no quotes) and get a whole bunch of information. Actually you can do a man for just about everything...

In case you're not running linux (yet, but we all know you will be soon ) you can go to linuxdoc.org and look up all the man pages, howtos, etc. Here's a link to the fsck man page

By the way, it checks and repairs a Linux filesystem, a la Scandisk or Norton Speedisk.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

In any organization there will always be one person who knows what is going on. This person must be fired.
