The other night, my laptop decided it didn't want to start Gentoo |
2 |
anymore. Long story short, I ended up using fsck to fix the disk, after |
3 |
which it booted ok. However, the fsck was a bit destructive; at the |
4 |
very least, a few files from my torrents had gone corrupt. That's not a |
5 |
big deal; Vuze lets me re-check all my torrents to make sure they're ok, |
6 |
and I've re-downloaded the bits that weren't. More worrysome is what |
7 |
other files may be corrupt from the exercise. |

My question is: is there a way that Portage can compare what's |
10 |
currently on the hard disk with what it installed, and do some sort of |
11 |
checksum verification on it? I'm going to assume not, unless I had |
12 |
already generated my own checksums. In that case, is the safest bet to |
13 |
do an emerge -e world, and let it rebuild everything? Or is there an |
14 |
easier (i.e., shorter) way of doing it? |

Thanks for your help. |
