Hi there,
It's me again with another series of problems with my HD. This is the
situation: the other day, I was mcopying stuff from my DOS partition (I still
haven't found a comm program as easy to use as procomm +, unfortunately) and
reading this newsgroup and probably compiling alos. At any rate, for no good
reason, the machine did a cold reboot. I thought I had lost my drive but I
got lucky, nothinjg was damaged. But, I included in my /etc/rc file a fsck
command. Everytime I boot my Linux partition, I get a bunch of messages
saying 'Zone XXXXX declared used but no file uses it' or something like that.
I guess that's the same thing as those *.chk files in DOS. I know how to free
them in DOS but how do I do it with fsck?
