I seem to be the only one around here who doesn't know the meaning of this term. Could someone(s) explain so I am no longer in the dark as to the meaning (and pronunciation [assuming there is one]) of this rather odd looking (I assume Unix) term.
[quote]fsck is for "filesystem consistency check and interactive repair".
It repairs the disk when it becomes damaged. And, boy howdy, under Mac OS X your filesystem will eventually become damaged if you are a heavy user. Frankly, I'm not sure what to blame for it.
Journaling is a feature that was introduced in 10.2.2 that tracks disk reads/writes so that it can practically never become damaged. Therefore maintenance tools such as "fsck" are no longer necessary.<hr></blockquote>
