Just installing Ubuntu on an old laptop for the first time and need to check/repair the hard disk as it may on it's way out and I suspect some bad sectors.
So need to run a disk check using fsck but to do this I need to "sudo umount /filesystem"
How do I determine the filesystem name? The instructions say use "mount" then look for something like "/dev/mapper/vg0-home on /home type ext3 (rw)" which means the filesystem is called "/home" but I can't see anything that helps.
Or anybody know of an easier utility to use?
