Hello,
- I know how to check the save file for errors - but how do i check the disk/filesystem? which the filesystem resides on?
Thanks for help,
Best regards,
Johan
How to check the disk (e2fsck)
there are many many filesystems around, and puppy supports by default ext2,ext3,ext4,swap,fat,ntfs .
for many other you would need to get the appropriate fsck_fs binary like fsck.xfs from elsewhere (source and compile) .
for ntfs /usr/sbin/ntfsfix might be of interest .
one good binary to determine the filesystem is the /sbin/guess_fstype binary .
/usr/sbin/disktype is also interesting .
fdisk -l does only roughly determine the fs type .
Puppy 4 series had the /sbin/fsck wrapper binary incl. , Puppy 5 uses fsck as link to e2fsck .
