Forcing fsck on boot

[Christian Motta]

shutdown -Fr now

or create a file in root called forcecfsck

Q: How to force a check of the file systems?

A: If the file "/forcefsck" exists a file system consistency check
(fsck) will be forced at the next boot up.

The command line commands look like:

	touch /forcefsck
	reboot
