12 Of course: it's in use :-)
13
14 Two options:
15
16 1) force partition check with the following command (seen recently in
17 this list)
18 shutdown -Fr
19
20 2) create the file /forcefsck
21 touch /forcefsck
22 then reboot, during shutdown you'll see "A full fsck will be forced on
23 next startup" and then "Checking root filesystem (full fsck forced)"
24
25 See the scripts /etc/init.d/halt.sh, /etc/init.d/checkfs
26 and /etc/init.d/checkroot to see all the "nuts and bolts"
