Hi, unfortunately i want a software that scans in real time (without rebooting the system). I've tried fsck and bad blocks, but it is necessary to umount the filesystem.Umounting the filesystem will be the chaos, because it's a file server and the data is being constantly read/write. Only i need is a simple program like chkdsk in Windows. Thanks for your time!
