Redhat 9 does not check filesystems on boot
Probably thinks journaling is adequate. I read the
"man tune2fs" page and decided all I needed to do was-

root@unimatrix nykysle]# /sbin/tune2fs -c 10 /dev/hda
tune2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
/sbin/tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda

Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
root@unimatrix nykysle]# /sbin/tune2fs -c 10 /dev/hdb
tune2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
/sbin/tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdb

The file systems are mounted, of course; should they be unmounted? Have I
got my options confused?

I have no problem with the file system, all is well. I would just
like to see it checked occasionally

It's not /dev/hda. It'll be /dev/hda1, or whatever.

Damm ! It's the file system - NOT the device. I've got
to stop doing things when I'm stuffed.:-)

Thanks P.T
