fsck
fsck is run automatically each time you reboot. However, if your filesystem is too messed up, you
will need to run fsck manually. In most cases, you will be thrown to a terminal shell prompt during
boot if a manual fsck is required. Run the following command when this happens:
# e2fsck -y /dev/hda1
The above assumes you have no CF card inserted. Once fsck has finished running, reset your
Zaurus by pressing the reset button inside the battery compartment.
It is recommended to reboot the Zaurus regularly so fsck is run to check for inode corruptions. This
is required because the Zaurus implements a kind of lazy inode journalising. If you install or
de-install lots of packages, it is also recommended to reboot afterwards.
pdaXii13 can be booted into Maintenance Mode, ie this is a special stage before the MicroDrive is
mounted so you can run fsck on it. The pdaXii13 Config tool will allow you to enable Maintenance
Mode. You can also run maintenance from the command line to enable Maintenance Mode. You
will be taken to the special Maintenance Mode once you reboot.
You can also manually fsck your MicroDrive by booting into the emergency partition using D+B key
sequence and running fsck from there.
Alternatively, you could start the pdaXii13 installer and use option 5 to go to a console and run fsck
from there.
You could also use the fsck feature in the Maintenance Menu, so after you press On/Off while
pressing the OK button, select Option 2 (data check) and then select Option 2 (run fsck) again.
pdaXii13 config
The file /home/root/Choices/pdaxii13.conf defines some rudimentary startup configurations for
pdaXii13 such as whether to start X when booting up, whether to play the welcome sound, whether
to load SCIM automatically, whether to load ROX or the default matchbox desktop, and which
mplayer to invoke from ROX filer as well as whether to load torsmo or activate sticky keys.
The special Maintenance Mode can also be enabled from this config tool. When Maintenance Mode is
enabled, the next time you reboot your Zaurus, it drops into a special shell before the MicroDrive is
mounted so you can manually fsck it. Once you are done, you need to reset your Zaurus by
