Re: [Plug] e2fsck


shouldn't that be e2fsck on a partition?  i.e. something with a file system
on it, instead of the entire device?

eg:

[user@host /]# e2fsck /dev/hda1


???

hda won't have a valid superblock (if I'm correct), as it's got the bootsector
instead of a file system header...

am I confused?
