fsck with Linux
Hi,
I'm running Red Hat 7.1 on an intel. After re-booting from a system crash, I am probpted to run fsck to repair filesystems manually with no options. For example,

/: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(ie without -a or -p options)

(Repair filesystem) 1 #

This is however, very time-consuming, as I have to do it for a large amount of files. Is there a way I can just run fsck for all unmounted/damanged file locations (like Solaris), apart from using a boot-disk?

From memory there's not much else you can do but fsck and just let it do its thing. I had a similar experience when we had a power spike. It did take a while.
