So...how do I check for bad sectors on my drives? I'm using ext3 (main (sda1) and work (hdc1) drives) and xfs (video (sda2) drive)<br><br>If I remember correctly, I need to run fsck from the command prompt (no gui, no network), right?
<br><br>I'm running FC6, so I think 'init 1' will get me single-user with no services, right?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/5/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">aaron</b> <<a href="mailto:memoryguy@gmail.com">
