[Tfug] e2fsck question

[Brian Murphy]

Quoting Jim Secan <jim at nwra.com>:
> I received a 250GB USB drive containing data.  When I mounted it, the
> system warned that it had found errors and recommended running e2fsck.  I
> did not run it with the -i option, and I now wish I had.  It's taking
> forever to run and is encountering flurries of short-read errors which I
> then need to manually clear.   If I were to kill e2fcsk and start it over
> with the -i option is this going to mung the disk?


You should be safe.  I don't see a -i option.  Did you mean -y?
