forcing a fsck of /



 Guys, 

I want to force a file system check of my root partition. The reason 
being, that my system froze, and I had to hit the reset switch. The 
system booted right up, using the file system journaling to recover the 
root partition, but I'd like to be for cirtain the file system is OK. I 
tried booting using the rescue mode of my fc8 dvd, but I wasn't able to 
dismount /mnt/sysimage, where my root partition was mounted. Any ideas? 

Cheers. Steve. 

P.S. BTW, I posted a message with a JPG attachment to this list, but 
never saw it come through. Are e-mails with attachments blocked?
