forcing a file system check

["Stephen Adler" <user=65@nabble.blu.org>]

 Guys, 

There was a thread which I started a while back about forcing a file 
system check on /. There were several suggestions, but I thought of a 
unique way which I tried and worked. Basically one uses tune2fs to set 
the max number of mounts between file system checks to 1, reboot, then 
reset it back to some large number. 

tune2fs -c 1 /dev/md0 
reboot 
tune2fs -c 100 /dev/md0 

I'm not sure what the default mount count is, so I set it back to 100. 

Cheers. Steve.
