[03:30] <az7> chat niiiiiight !
[03:40] <az7> so hows linux?
[03:41] <Ahmuck> well
[03:41] <Ahmuck> i've got linux on a usb key.  i think it's got a damgaged file system
[03:41] <zillah> hey all
[03:41] <Ahmuck> perhaps.  can i rsync that from the key to a folder?
[03:41] <az7> fsck?
[03:42] <Ahmuck> using fsck won't cause loss of files?
[03:42] <az7> shouldn't if its not mounted, right?
[03:43] <Ahmuck> needs to be unmounted?  how would you fsck a unmouted filesystem
[03:44] <az7> fsck /dev/sdXX
[03:45] <az7> whatever your usb is when its connected, but not mounted
[03:46] <zillah> umount /dev/sdXX; fsck /dev/sdXX
[03:46] <Ahmuck> it's like /media/Cruzer
[03:46] <Ahmuck>  /media/U3
[03:46] <zillah> cat fstab| grep /media/U3
[03:47] <zillah> to see which sdXX it is
[03:49] <Ahmuck> cat: fstab: No such file or directory
[03:49] <Ahmuck> i've never understood cat, i suppose because i've never really studied it.  even though i own 7 cats myself
[03:49] <zillah> sorry
[03:49] <zillah> its /etc/fstab
[03:50] <Ahmuck> ah, hi zillah

[03:56] <Ahmuck> returns nothing.  i shoulda known /etc/fstab ... to tired this evening i guess
[03:56] <Ahmuck> since as an oldie i used to modify fstab to get things to work
