Re: [rhn-users] repair mounted file system ?

[Peter Kühnlein <p uni-bielefeld de>]

Hi Frederic,

the errors don't seem to be due to the fact that the HD is mounted. But 
if you would do a "real" e2fsck (no -n option) the errors should become 
repaired. I don't remember who  already suggested that, but I have read 
that before: you might boot from cd with the rescue option and do the 
e2fsck from there with / unmounted.

Cordially,
Peter
