Step 1Rescapp searches for all the partitions based on information found in the /proc/partitions file. If the partition contains an: /etc/issue file it will also obtain the distribution name.
Step 2Rescapp displays a list of the partitions found on Step 1.You are prompted:
Which partition? You are supposed to choose whatever partition you want to force the filesystem check on and press the OK button.Explanation of description is:
Distribution name: Your distribution root partition has been detected and you are seeing its name.
Not detected: The partition can be mounted but there is not an /etc/issue file on it. It is probably a non root partition.
Cannot_mount:: The partition cannot be mounted. Maybe it is the partition you want to fix, another one that Rescatux cannot mount, or maybe a SWAP partition.
Step 3You are informed about the fsck process.You either get:
[SUCCESS] Filesystem check with automatic fix was OK! :)
or
[ERROR] Filesystem check with automatic fix failed! :(
Step 4A log file called fsck.log.txt is generated so that you can share it later if needed.
