Hi all,
i m a linux newbie. I wonder how I could check the errors in filesystem or defragment it.... Does anybody have an idea how to do it?
No need to do any defrag nonsense on a Linux file system.
You HD(s) get automatically checked about every 20 boots.
If you really want to manually run checks, the command is 'e2fsck' (assuming a '2' file system type).
Regards, Guy

how come it said "running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage." So should I still continue to run it? or is there any other way to umount the filesystem before i run that command again?
By the way, thx Guy for the help ... \(^_^)/

If this is not your / filesystem, you can umount it just by umount yourmountpoinname. If it is /, then the only thing you can do is remount it read-only, by
mount -o remount,ro /
But as Guy mentioned, you only want to run fsck manually in very rare circumstances.

If i'm not mistaken, if u use a journaling filesystem like ReiserFs or ext3 then worrying about the filesystem is a thing of the past. Unfortunately i'm still stuck with ext2 til i re-install my system, which I'm much to lazy to do :)
