need to run fsck

[ckosloff]

Need to run fsck to fix some pesky errors but since I cannot unmount sda1 I need to boot from some external media, I tried to use the netinst iso cd in rescue mode but it threw errors.
So I need to start troubleshooting from the very beginning by checking the md5sum, i know how to use the command on downloaded file, but I cannot find what is the correct output in the debian webiste.
Please help by positing a link.
Thank you,
CK

I checked the sha256sum and it matches so error is not there

You can try using forcefsck - as root:

Code: Select all

touch /forcefsck

If the kernel sees this file on boot it will force a filesystem check.

Worth a shot -

I did give it a shot but SOL.
There is a curious issue, this camputer (Toshiba Satellite Pro) can boot to BIOS by repeatedly pressing F2 and is has options
to boot from optical disk and USB.
I tried to get to it to boot from netinst iso, in order to get the shell I had to get to rescue mode first but it started throwing errors.
I checked the file with sha256sum and it matches with the expected output in Debian website so the image I got is good.
I burned with K3b with option to verify written data, it passed.
More on this later, sorry I'm exhausted.
