Does any one know where I can find
documentation of fsck. I posted a a topic
before on fsck help but no one answered
so just wondering if any one can tell me
where to look for help.

I read the man page but it refrences me to
the apendix of some book.

Well... so at the end it mentions 'fsck the unix file system check program.'

I typed that into the Google window and got this listed:

docs.freebsd.org/44doc/smm/03.fsck/paper.pdf

It's the mentioned doc. Have a read. And learn about Gooooogle, it's your best friend!

Had this saved on my drive. A nice overview by Bob Levitus.

I'm surprised no unix person has yet piped up with:

man fsck

I'm surprised you didn't read the original post to see that he said he checked the man pages.
