Description

As pointed out in Bug #8169, it’s not possible to check file systems in Disks anymore. GParted is no option either. So let’s do this on the command line:

fsck -y /dev/mapper/luks-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx

While doing this we should create a “Persistence” subsection in “Advance topics” and move there:

  • persistence/change_passphrase.mdwn
  • persistence/copy.mdwn
  • persistence/check_file_system.mdwn

Thanks for the branch. Documenting command lines it never fun and always more complicated that what I’d like. You also did good splitting the page in two big sections and it was becoming quite long.

So I pushed some more work on top of yours. Please have a look and tell me if you think it’s ready.
