I have a system that needs to run e2fsck (C7). I boot into rescue mode, skip to shell (option 3). enter they PW and I type:
e2fsck -y /dev/sda1 and it says is mounted. This is "/"
What do I do so I can run e2fsck ?
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry ,
I would say unmount it and then run the file check.

A good first step is to enter "run fsck on root filesystem", or some such, into your favorite search engine.
Possibilities:
1. # touch /forcefsck # reboot
2. # reboot select rescue mode from grub menu which likely has an fsck option
3. boot into live media rather than your hard disk now your root partition is just any old partition to fsck
