How to fsck the microSD card?

Unread post by keith.f.kelly »

If I suspect filesystem corruption, how do I go about running fsck against the entire primary microSD card? I get all kinds of fun warnings about how I either can't, or shouldn't, run fsck against a mounted filesystem... but the filesystem has to be mounted in order to boot... Catch-22. Is there some magic flag or command I can run to force it to run fsck on the next reboot?

I ask this because I've been experiencing some random spontaneous reboots of my MiSTer lately, either from the OSD or during gameplay.

You can always remove the SD card and test it under Windows or whatever.
