check file system question

[aaronmarsh632]

Hi,

I think this should be a simple answer I just cant find it, I'm running an older ubuntu install on 1 of my PC's and in the disk utility I have the 'Check File System' option but on the new ubuntu I cant find that button, the disk utility is completely different and I just cant find it, please can any one help me out?

Thanks

Bump,

Please does anyone know the answer to this? I dont think this option would have been removed from the disk utility.

The command is fsck. See the manpage.
Do NOT run fsck on a mounted filesystem!

Several ways to check how many reboots until the next check, and how to force a check at the next boot are detailed at http://askubuntu.com/questions/26141...-the-next-boot
