Description: sometimes you need to force a file system check after you reboot your computer. This can be done in two ways:
If you are going to reboot right now:
- Execute this command (the -F argument forces a file system check):
sudo shutdown -Fr now
If you aren’t going to reboot right now:
- Execute this command:
sudo touch /forcecheck - Next time you reboot or start your computer, a file system check will be performed.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid a file system check, use this command to reboot your machine: sudo shutdown -fr now
