Zaurus Maintenance

fsck needs to be run on the Linux filesystems from time to time to check for inconsistencies in the file systems and to fix it if there are any. fsck is similar to the chkdsk or scandisk command in DOS and Windows.

Running fsck on a mounted filesystem is not recommended so the safest way to run it on the Z is from the maintenance menu. 

   * Shutdown and unplug Zaurus
   * Remove and reinsert battery
   * Plug the power cable back in
   * Hold OK button and turn Z on
   * Select Option 2 (data check)
   * Select Option 2 (run fsck)
   * Confirm (left option)
   * Wait for fsck to finish
   * Restart Zaurus (by removing battery)
