Re: fsck

Hi,

If you really want the "internals" of fsck, only the source code for opensource OSes such as RedHat Linux are available for grabs.

For RedHat Linux, you can get it from:

ftp://ftp.singnet.com.sg/opensource/linux/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/SRPMS/e2fsprogs-1.27-3.src.rpm

Reading the source code "internals" will give you the picture of exactly how it works.

Hope this helps. Regards.
