ctrl ( control ) D in debian ( linux )

Sometimes we face the problem of control D in debian. In this scenario you must unmount all the drives of your hard disk then you need to go through file scan for recovery and fixation.

1. Give the root password
2. fdisk - l
It will show all the partitions of your hard disk
controld2
this is my hard disk, you might have lot more or less

3. Now you need to unmount all of the partition, command is as below
umount /dev/sda1
..
..
umount /dev/sda5

4. Now run file scan, command is
fsck

you might have to press y for several times for fixing the errors. After completing the fsck restart the machine

5. init 6

though it’s a minor glitch … your point 2 the command should be “fdisk -l ” not “fdsik -l”

thanks for your tips.

I‘m sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I’m also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past …but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!
