Force Fsck

Force fsck on a boot using /forcefsck

On boot linux looks for a file called “forcefsck” in the root “/” directory. If this file exists then the system will invoke a full file system check on boot. To create the file you first need to be the root user:

$ su -

Create a the file forcefsck in the root directory:

# touch /forcefsck
Reboot the system:

# shutdown -r now
Else we can do it in single command.
# shutdown -rF now
