e2fsck -cn

Postby modem7 » Fri May 04, 2012 4:39 pm

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd go test my hard drives, just to make sure this myriad of drives are A-OK.

So I read: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding_ ... o_your_HDA where it states:
Test your hard drive

Optionally, you can test your new drive for bad blocks.
Note that this step can take a long time to complete! You'll probably want to start it in the evening, to have it completed in the morning.

To do so, in a Terminal, as root, type the following command. Replace sdb1 with the (green) value you received from hda-diskmount.

e2fsck -cn /dev/sdb1
I put in

Code: Select all

e2fsck -cn /dev/sdb1
and get the following error:
[root@Server]# e2fsck -cn /dev/sdb1
e2fsck: The -n and -c options are incompatible.

Any ideas on how I can test my disks without any problems?

Many thanks!

Recommend you Google it. That guidance is outdated.
