I need to repair the filesystem on my Linux partition in order to resize it with Partition Magic 8. fsck sometimes runs automatically, on startup, when my filesystem is too bad, but I cannot seem to run it manually. I've tried unmounting my filesystem in the single user run-level, but I get the following error message:
sh-2.05b# umount /dev/hda2
umount: /: device is busy
The partition for my boot directory, /dev/hda1 unmounted fine.
I did go through all run-levels, to Gnome, and then typed 'telinit 1' in an xterm.
I have two questions:
How can I make '/' unbusy, so I can unmount it?
and
Are there other programs that repair linux filesystems and where can you get them?
