Hi there :
Question : how have you partitioned your disk ?
If for examples' sake you set up /home as a separate filesystem , and this
is the filesystem that
has become corrupted , when you login to the system in admin mode , you
should be given
a root prompt. In such a case , you would need to make sure /home is
unmounted before
performing fsck or e2fsck.
However , if the corruption happens on your / partition , you could have a
problem ,
because you cannot perform a filesystem check on a mounted filesystem. I
myself
have not managed to find a way to force a check on the / filesystem.
Regards , Jason Dale
