I need to run fsck the next time I reboot. What command do I use to do this (param please)?

Hi,
you should be able to use:

shutdown -r -t now -F

which will cause the machine to reboot "now" and force a fsck when it comes back up.

e2fsck -pv /dev/hda1

You will want to change /dev/hda1 to the device that is causing the problem

for more info "man e2fsck"
