Upgrading to RedHat 7.2

[Maki]

Hi,

I have a machine running RedHat 7.0. I'm looking to upgrade to RedHat 7.2. (If I can't upgrade I'm just going to go to Mandrake 8.1.)

When I try to run the upgrade program it tells me that one of my drives was not dismounted cleanly and that I should chkdsk them. So far as I know I have done this. No joy.

What do I have to do to get my drives in a proper state of grace such that I can upgrade to 7.2? Is there a special shutdown command that makes it check the disk?

Thanks for your help.

Logged in as root run fsck -t ext2 /dev/hda[x]

Where ext2 is the type of filesystem and [x] is the partion/drive in question.

fsck is the linux equivalent of winders scandisk.

That did the trick. Thanks!
