Hello !

I use this command for checking my filesystem :

# e2fck -f -v /dev/hdb

and this command to verify the operation :

# tune2fs /dev/hdb

It tell me :
Filesystem state : clean

But i got always this error :

"ext2fs warning maximal count reach etc..."

Can you help me to resolve this problem ??

Thanks in advance !

Samuel.

Here's some inconsistencies - I'm guessing you just wrote it down wrong:
- use "e2fsck"
- use tune2fs -l <device>
- use the target partition device, such as /dev/hdb1

If that is also the partition you are running DSL from, you can use the bootcode "checkfs"

Thanks you,

I use this cheat code "checkfs" and there is no error !!
